For those of you out there that do not frequent the TMP website, Dwartist posted his finished pictures of the upcoming Doe gunship from Khurasan Miniatures. It is a truly stunning piece, and I plan to have at least one for my 15mm forces. Maybe more than one for different factions. dwartist.blogspot.com for more pictures of this great vehicle.

Very nice, but its obviously a kitbash of a Russian Hind Gunship, which doesn't take away from its coolness. The cockpits seem a bit small for that scale, however.

Yes, it is derived from the Russian HIND. It's also for a faction that is directly descended from the USSR and it's political ideology.
The vehicle was deliberately built to harken to old times and designs to inspire their troops.
And now that you mention it... the cockpit does seem a tad cramped. I guess it's got a lot of miniturization and helmet mounted holo controls?

Nice model. I love it. I would equally like to see something more specifically sci-fi and not derived from a historical reference. However it looks very cool and will look great in a game. Think I might need x2.. Things are looking expensive! Any news when it will be released.
Is it just me or does the hull look a bit rough?

I think that was one of the early printed/cast versions that Khurasan sent out to his painter for paintwork. I believe that the production kits will be smoother. No idea when they will be released. I hope not too soon, I'm out of cash Vacation ate up all my discretionary funds right after I picked up one of the limited Kestrel MK1 models from him.
