That's the car, yes (I had it as "Ikhtiandr 2" or "Ihtiandr 2" but I guess they're all right!).
I just need to know the name of the builder now for your point, so it's locked for you to give it.

Ichthyander is the name of the hero of the old Soviet sci-fi movie "The Amphibian Man". Triton on Russian and is Triton.

Thanks!
I only said that because the auto-translate feature on my computer translated it a 'Triton'!
