Paul Carswell put aside his beloved tanks to build a flying tank. Here is the Revell/Zvezda 1/72 Mi-24.

Paul, extremely well done effort, on a difficult kit. And you're a Armor guy to boot.
From what I can see, your free hand camo scheme looks well done. The only addition that you might consider is a little more weathering.

Hiya joel, glad you like it. Yeah I was cautious with the weathering, being a tanky at heart I didn't want to overdo it with loads of rust n mud.
