Ukrainian Gray Hind

I figured I'd throw a thread up here, in case anyone was interested! 
I've been working on an interesting Gray Hind from the Ukrainian military. From the only picture I've found of it, it almost looks like the grey paint was quickly airbrushed over what might have been a White UN Hind. The gray paints are pretty heavily worn in places, and the whole thing definitely doesn't look as clean as other Hinds I've seen from their military. This one has been a fun switch from the Green one I did previously, and I'm hoping to finish it up this week. So far I've been lining up the various lines on the fuselage, which I'm sure plenty of you have experience the joy of. That and finding the random bolts scattered around the template.

Once I wrap that up, I'll go through and give all of the darker gray stripes the distressed look to more accurately match the look of the real one, then figure out what kind of numbers to throw on it, since the placeholder ones from my other Ukrainian Hind don't really look good on it in my opinion.

Anyhow, once it's done, I'll throw it up on the ED User files as usual.

Uploaded and waiting on approval! I'll post a link once it's up.

It looks good IMO.  I've been looking for a skin that looks like it fits in on a ship when we want to deploy the 24 that way.

I appreciate it! Ukraine definitely has a ton of really unique paint jobs on their Mi-24 fleet, so I've got a handful more I would like to make. The biggest headache is lining up the camo across all of the panels, and worst of all, the little details like the bolts on the IR Suppressors.
