i was just wondering what to build in this GB, and i came up with this project i was planning some time ago.
i dont know if its elligable, but i would like to enter an Airbus A320 in RAF Air Support Command markings.
the A320 first flew in 1987, and RAF ASC exisisted from 1967 to 1972, so i guess in that sense it would be eligable to build.
the paintscheme will be the old White/Blue/grey scheme flown by most aircraft at the time (Comet, Pembroke, VC-10,...).
the model im gonna use is a Revell 1/144 Airbus A320 with a combination of DIY decals and markings from the spares box.
here's a profile i made some time ago, with RAF Transport Command titles, the model wil have Air Support Command titles.

Welcome aboard! Just from your explanation, I'd say that this project fits right in with the Backdated portion of our title. Carry on, good sir!

Looks sharp!
Makes me think of a B777 or such in the old USAF or US Navy MATS scheme. Like I need more projects!
