Ekranoplan, Weathering Models
Came across these amazing pictures of the large Soviet Ekranoplan, GEV, test model here. The website is in Russian but it's a blog by Igor113.
The close ups showing weathering are fascinating. Well worth a look for modellers.
GEVs are a technology like hovercraft, that should be useful but somehow never quite seem to come up with the goods in practice.

That thing just cries out to be used in a James Bond or Gerry Anderson style flick.

The term GEV makes me think instantly of the classic game OGRE!
