Here you are - http://crimso.msk.ru/Site/Crafts/Craft19967-1.htm#pics. Though most of descriptions are in Russian, they can be easily translated via on-line translators. Look through other sections of the site - there are a lot of interesting materials concerning Russian (and not only Russian) aviation (photos, videos, drafts etc.). As for paint colors, here are some numbers according to Model Master range - http://www.zvezda.org.ru/images/sets/photoes/7293/03.pdf and http://www.zvezda.org.ru/images/sets/photoes/7276/05.pdfOmar wrote: Also, do they train in fastroping out of them, or do they only land for deployment? I've heard that Mi-8 helicopter is used for fastroping.

Thanks for the info! Well, if they do it out of one, I am guessing they are capable of doing it out of others. Was just trying to figure out how I should use it for game purposes. Also, I am thinking that they would not follow the usual in-out procedure that most troop transport helicopters do, yes? Guessing they would drop off and then go into a supporting pattern, or at least be on standby in the AO? This is what I got: http://quickreactionforce.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=440_496_536_537&products_id=6026Got that its a Mi-24 (Hind-E), but I am trying to figure out how to assemble it based on what configuration it is. Its a good looking model though, I am looking forward to using it in a game. _________________ "Violence. It might not be the answer, but it sure cuts down on the questions."

I continue painting my small Rhodesian army. All the figures are made by Under Fire Miniatures, painted as always by Vallejo and Folk Art acrylics. This time I've tried another background for photoshooting.

They are really first class jobs. The camo is, in my opinion, perfect.

Thanks everyone for your kind words about my painting. skow wrote: Very well done! Can I send you my Rhodesians and have you paint them for me? Surely This weekend I've finished another model, though in smaller then 20mm scale. This tiny 15mm Humvee is made by Irish Serb, I've painted it in generic three-color US camo with lots of dust (I was inspired by photos of this vehicle in Iraq campaign). The model is painted by Vallejo acrylics, weathering is done by AK Interactive products.

My another model for Force on Force small army - BTR-60 PB. The model is made by ICM in 1/72 scale. I build it out of the box, but replaced all handles and deck grill with those made off wire. The model represents generic vehicle from one of Middle East or North Africa countries (BTR-60 from Yemen army was used as a basis).

AML-90 for my Rhodesian small force. The model is made by ACE (bloody horrible kit in fact), I had to replace some parts in order to improve overall impression and I added or replaced some parts to give a model some features typicall to Rhodesian AML-90s.  And its enemy - generic African BTR-152, build and converted by my friend Alexandr into heavy support vehicle.
