I am not sure whiskey is the inspiration for this design/model, but some chemicals (legal more or less) may help, all right, like LSD celebrated by the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"...

Yes! Good point!
Wikipedia swears you are very right: "The Blohm & Voss BV 138 Seedrache (Sea Dragon), but nicknamed Der Fliegende Holzschuh ("flying clog",[1] from the side-view shape of its fuselage"

I did not find a near 1/1 plastic clog, so it was a single clog, a fake tourist souvenir in wood, with a brush, and I have no second one
