Not sure what topic to post this in but here goes:
In Tanteidan 22, there is a model by Fumiaki Kawahata called a "Grampsu." However, it does not seem to resemble anything. Searching for "Grampsu" on Google yields no useful results. What is a "Grampsu"?
Picture provided is below:

Re: What is a "Grampsu"?
Putting the Japanese Text into an online translator, I get: Do not fold the scales Orca.
It slightly does look like a whale to me, so the translation could be correct.

Re: What is a "Grampsu"?
I would guess it's really a Shachihoko however it doesn't really look like it has a tigers head to me.
Re: What is a "Grampsu"?
I agree with Shachihoko. Probably the one from Nagoya Castle.
Re: What is a "Grampsu"?
The diagram is also in the newest Tanteidan magazine. There they call it Grampus instead of Grampsu. According to Wikipedia Grampus is a Dolphin genus.
I agree that the Shachihoko looks a lot like the model, but maybe it is based on the Grampus dolphin?

Re: What is a "Grampsu"?
Taking a look at the Japanese name of the model("ウロコ折りをしない鯱"), it translates to "Shachi without using Scale Folding"
- Shachi is a shortened form of the word 'Shachihoko' (which others have mentioned above)
- 'Scale Folding' refers to the technique used to create scales by folding perpendicular pleat folds.
As origami_8 had mentioned, it's probably a misspelling of 'Grampus', which according to wikipedia is 'A common name historically used for the orca'.
Searching further, I found that 'Grampus' is the English equivalent of 'Shachi' (At least to Japanese people, since they have a Soccer Team named 'Nagoya Grampus Eight')
