Zvezda 7016 Ekranoplan A-90 – 1:144 Scale Plastic Model Kit

Zvezda 7016 Ekranoplan A-90 is a unique scale model kit, developed in the precise 1:144 scale by the renowned Russian company Zvezda. This model represents the Soviet A-90 "Orlionok" ekranoplan – one of the most extraordinary air-cushion vehicles ever built. The "Orlionok" combined elements of an aircraft and a boat, taking advantage of the ground effect unique to ekranoplans. It was used by the Soviet Union as a fast military troop transporter, primarily on the waters of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea during the Cold War – from the late 1970s to the end of the 1980s.
