# ep096a Beriev-2500P giant Ekranoplane project

16 inches wing span heavy resin model of Beriev Design Bureau on blue plexiglass stand made in the shape of Oceanic wave. This outstanding quality model feautures Beriev factory logo, clear windows on fuselage and wings, detailed engines and entire craft. Original model custom hand made for presentations to VIP guests and Officials during airshows. Model represent second version of Be-2500 (Be-2500P), which differ in aerodynamic layout from Be-2500.Layout of Be-2500P is almost identical to that of the Be-1200(Be-2000), the only difference being the shape of the wing center section trailing edge and the location of aft-mounted engines which are placed outboard of the fins, not inboard.Thus Be-2500P, unlike the Be-2500, can use its nose-mounted engines for power-augmented take-oof, directing their exhaust under the wing. Be-2500/Be-2500P project is a long-term prospective design of Beriev`s Bureau and not intended to be implemented in the immediate future. It is presumed that such ultra-heavy aerial vehicles may be used for transportation on transatlantic and transpacific routes. Questions of availability and price of this model are welcome.
