a quick update:

It's undercarriage was installed. Wheel need to be painted and fixed to the maingear forks. Also changed the vertical tail to outboard OV-1 units.

I'm thinking about doing it in a made up Sierra leone AF of Zimbabwe AF scheme, inspired by the standard Mil Mi-24 scheme.

Pellson is correct on both counts
A]  it's rather endearingly revolting

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
