It's a strange looking bird, it looks a bit like a Ekranoplan, was it designed to be a WIG (Wing In Ground effect) ?
You must be working from these;

Hello!
billy.leliveld: yes, this is drawing which I use. I don't know whether it was ekranoplan (in the description which I gave at the beginning has nothing to this topic) but I suppose, that not. I think it was a glider only in very untypical configuration.

Next part: gear ect...

Best regards.

You know, something about this plane makes me want to eventually see if I could make one that flies / glides...

[Krzychu74]

Hello!
boosed: thank you very much. I`re right, it is very rare bird.
dansls1: thank you.

Ikarus is ready and now wait for test build by my colleague Piotter which test my previous models (Ponnier, Mitsubishi Ka-8).
Model has 34 numbered parts on 3 sheets with parts and one sheet with instruction.
I hope soon I`ll show photos from test building.

Best regards.
