Alright, I got inspired to pull out an actual model that isn't 40K right now - the GB called to me.  So here I have one of my Hind-o-mania projects on the table.  Two days, decent progress, and I'm intending to get this done soon.  I might even file a second entry.  Anyways, here we go.  Took pics of Boxes and Sprues to show that it was there when I started.






Day One - did the cabin work - rigged a set of AK's in the back just to have something.  Most of the structural work in the pics was also done on Day One.



Day Two - paint work on the fuselage - not a lot of work, got distracted.





She's going to be rigged for strafing heavily - as you can see her inner hardpoints are rigged with the big gunpods that have a 12.7mm center chaingun and two 7.62 side chainguns.  Outer hardpoints will be 57mm rocket pods, with AT-6's on the wingtips.

BPRAF?  British People's Republic Air Force?

Looks interesting.

Getting a little more colourful on day three - the dark red looks good I think, I might add a brown tomorrow to it.

The delay of the maintenance meant I couldn't share this until now - the next step of progress.  I was inspired by Gekko's work, and thought I would apply it to this beast.



Enjoy
