Nice paint job!

Had this sent to me. It was photographed by someone in the UK forces in Afghanistan and it is flying operationally there at the moment. Like to see a FS version!

Sorry to disappoint John. Those are quite old pics, and not from the 'Stan. I believe it's Czech and taken there.

If memory serves, those photos are from around 2003. I believe it was a Hungarian Air Force MI-24 and never served in combat and carried no weapons... only at air shows and public displays. It seems to have been decommissioned in the last few years and I have never seen any photos to indicate otherwise.

Well just goes to prove you can always believe what you read on the Net or email come to that. Still a nice paint scheme though! I'll pass it on to the person who sent it to me :evil:
