Ha...VVIP transport..........now theres a thought....nope...discount that idea....ain't BA grey? When I worked at Brit Aerospace in Kingston many years ago a chap who worked for BA said 'they went to grey as it was easier to clean/planes didn't look grubby as they did in white livery' and I believed him....like to think its true.......

I think that was the previous livery. That looked very grey to me. The current is white though :)

Just a few minor things to do......had some AIM-9L's for the wing tips but they didn't wanna hang when offered up....the soviet AAM's had smaller fins....might have to add a sliver of a rail.....

That'd be the Sukhoi Platypus in FAA service then?  :lol:

Cracking idea, and crackingly built too.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
