Plus at high speed they couldn't turn in any reasonably space or time and like a ship took forever to stop.

Plus it couldn't "fly" over heavy chop. But apparently it could blast along at 450-475 mph.
Where I live on the coast there are a lot of pelicans. Those big dudes come down in a line and spread their huge wings and ground effect along about a foot above the water.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Thanks, Bill;
I was afraid of that. The thing is it's part of an unusual idea that was workable. Fuel and space requirements crippled it plus the cost of upkeep. Interesting all the same!
Well tanks, at 1/144 the length of the thing would be 240/144 = 1.68 feet ( 20 inches).
Double that for 1/72. The thing is long with a short wingspan.
Anigrand made one in 1/144 out of resin. Pricey.
No, that's all I know about. The Takom kit will be pretty big, though. Perhaps you will have to scratch a Caspian Sea Monster in its first form:

Hi John!
Do you know if anyone made one in a larger scale.That's a wee bit small for what I have in mind, Plus, it needs to be almost the prototype with no armaments
Revell did a 1/144 A-90:

Takom did a Lun class in the same scale:
