I remember seeing a vehicle like these on YouTube some time ago. Don't remember under what subject heading  I was looking but the vehicle was very interesting all the same. The video showed it on land and a frozen Lake first. It would go well over 50 m.p.h. and then it went out into the water and drove around fast enough to put up a good wake. Next they drove it up onto the Ice and drove off at high speed.

The Russians built a whole bunch of different "Aerosani" vehicles in WWII.  All riding on skis and powered by aircraft engines.  The simplest version had 2 open cockpits, holding a machine-gunner in the front seat, and driver in the rear...with the radiator for the water-cooled engine right above his head.  Trumpeter and other companies make scale models of these vehicles in 1/35 and 1/72 scale.

One of the best "Engrish" names ever for a kit!  This eBay auction ended just now.  I was scanning "Ending Soonest" and happened to see it...

This one should be a little easier to scratch-build.  B)

Somebody posted a link here to this about a year? More than likely Greg? He's always finding and posting interesting stuff here.
