I used to have one of those, from the Revell reboxing of the kits.

Now it looks Russian.  Like a developed Su-25 Grach.

More progress, this time a view at the beast's belly, and painting has started, too. Hardpoints were added, as well as the landing gear (with a new twin front wheel arrangement), as well as a gun and some antennae for a final touch.

Yes, exactly what came to mind...

You cannot view this attachment.

The camo he's wearing could be a good suggestion for a paint scheme... 
Looking good, Thomas! 

Paint scheme is inspired by the JASDF C-130s, or at least this livery here:

That's a cute little monster! Just in time for Halloween!

Looking good ! Who doesn't love Japanese camo ?

What l'm thinking is a bit more obscure. The hump of the cockpit and short nose reminds me of the HAL Kiran jet trainer.

Funny how many associations this things brings to the light. With the enlarged LERXs it also has a bit a Yak-130 trainer?

Yeah, the evil twin. 

It puts me in mind of the Soviet ground attack aircraft ...
