presidential transport / airborne command post for a smaller african or asian nation, eh?

They're good options Trev.  Another is a retrojet, in Aeroflot or other former Warsaw Pact countries liveries.  Decals are proving to be a problem, however.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Playfix Be-6 arrived today. Impulse buy from Ebay. Not sure what I'll make of it yet  :unsure:
I've got one of those off Ebay. I sliced the hull off to use on my C-130 jet Seaplane. Mine came without any glazing or propellers.

Revell 1/144th Dornier Do X....it'll be from "Biggles and the Black Peril", a story about a Soviet invasion of the UK in the ealy/mid '30s. Ginger is introduced too.
It will NOT have zillions of struts supporting the engines though, but will receive further steampunking. :wacko:

The artwork from the Biggles books shows the Do X type, lots of then bringing the invasion force. They're all dark too....in some illustrations anyway.

Much to my surprise,I've found my copy of   this  book  and the  cover  artwork is  indeed a Do X ish  sort of aircraft, with  flames lighting the darkness around, whilst  Biggles escapes into the  foreground.  Must  re read it!

I see... the VG alternative to the stillborn CF-105! Canada, yes...  :party:
