else threatened with a vertical landing without appropriate capabilities.
Seeing as there's nobody else about and I'm all done here, I'm heading for home now. I'll get back on line somehow in a while (beg, borrow or steal a connection) to monitor the challenge.

D*** it, I had it under my nose the whole time!!! All this time thinking "I must find something which has jet engines on top just like some Russian Ekranoplanes..."
Good job skytrain!
I totally agree...

The silhouette creates the impression of it being much smaller than it actually is.

Good evening Ken and welcome home!
I'm struggling with my connection at the moment, so may come and go!
That's why I chose it, plus the angle hides the second fin !! 
I was going to say that the "Red Baron" had a major hand in it as a clue!
It is the Bartini Beriev VVA-14 Vertikal`no-Vzletayuschaya Amphibia (vertical take-off amphibious aircraft)
skytrain10 has control

Evening skytrain, and thanks for the clues.
Seems to me a Bharat Swati.
Edit: since I found the exact source of your photo I can tell that you did not blacken the gear completely... that's why it didn't make any sense to me: I thought the gray zone was a part of the shadow and it seemed as it were inclined backwards... tailstrikes here I come!

Plus, there are so many people with impressive skills on this thread that it's not so difficult to find good examples to follow in order to try to learn something...

.It is indeed the Bharat (BHEL) Swati from India. From what I can make out at least 40 were produced as trainers for the Indian DCA.
