Wolfi,

What an interesting find! That's really neat!

Wow, very interesting!
I have never heard of them, too.

Am I the only one seeing a little bit of Star-Wars-style in it?

Wow, a swamp boat on skis!

Had the Russians made them a bit more aerodynamic, they might have gotten a bit more speed and uphill maneuverability out of them. That flat front probably did not help them move well. Also, they could have mounted the prop a bit higher up to allow more airflow through the blades.

I would have been channeling the exhaust through a very sealed muffler or two inside the passenger compartment!!!!!!

Wolfi,
I just noticed where you are located.

Meine Vorfahren waren Bauern aus Lüneburg. Vier Löescher Brüder verlassen Lüneburg in den späten 1700er und frühen 1800er Jahren emigrierte nach Pennsylvania. Die Familie dann in den Vereinigten Staaten verbreitet. Und jetzt bin ich in Stuttgart leben.
