Soviet Ekranoplan, Flying Ship, The Caspian Monster

This compact 20 cm single-piece 3D printable model captures the legendary Caspian Sea Monster—the KM ekranoplan—gliding gracefully over calm seas. Designed as a solid, ready-to-print sculpture, it showcases the vessel’s immense wingspan, distinctive tail, and engine layout in one seamless form. Perfect as a desk ornament or collector’s display piece, it requires no assembly and can be printed without supports on most printers. For best results, use PLA or resin with fine layer height to preserve surface detail, and finish with a touch of metallic or naval gray paint for a striking representation of this Cold War marvel.

This single-piece version of the Caspian Sea Monster is presented here free of charge as a compact and easy-to-print display model. A higher-poly, more detailed version of the same model is also available for free download on our website. For those seeking the ultimate experience, a multi-piece, highest-poly edition—fully optimized for 3D printing and convertible for RC use—can be purchased from our site. Each version offers a unique way to enjoy and showcase this remarkable Cold War legend.
