MI-8 Hip Assault Gunship

Iraqi helicopter, circa Iran-Iraq war, and also first Gulf War, 1991.

Also, a new paint style?  Ive been wanting to take my painting to 'the next level', and ive hit a wall.  This latest figure is WIP of my first attempt at using James Wappel's 'Shaded Basecoat' technique.  I like the results, but I need some more practice.
