Garry,
Nice model
.
l'm sure l've seen an image of one in RAF colors, l'm sure it was two tone brown camo as well, or maybe that was an export version ?, where that image is in this pile of junk around here l've no idea but l'll look in the most obvious places etc.
Keep it up.
Best

Cheers Michael 
That would not be a Superfreighter probably a 31M RNZAF or RCAF......at least I have never known of a cammo Superfrieghter and can't imagine why there would be one. :think: A few early 31 flew in RAF briefly and the A&AEE had the one and only 31C for years.
Other Brit Mil included prototypes on test, research and development
The troopers would have been standard Silver City livery or whatever with military serials probably hastily applied over the reg.
Not just Superfreighters but in general pic of trooping serial aircraft seem almost none extant.

RNZAF never operated them (we had 12 freighters, 11 operational at any one time). Would'nt mind a fake RNZAF repaint though. I don't think SAFE had them even on charter. I do know the Pakistan Air Force operated freighter, but what model I could'nt say--think they had about 30 on charge

The RNZAF mentioned above are 31M(NZ)
I will be doing all the genuine 32 liveries. The NZ will have to wait for the 31. All the NZ Freighters were 31
There will be no fictional liveries allowed :shock: .....simple.
The Superfreighter was only operated by UK based Air Charter/CAB, SCA, BUAF, BAF, MAC, Air Ferry and by the cross Channel counterparts CAT (part owned by Silver City) and SABENA (Chartered from CAB) plus one that went to Canada in the early seventies (Lambair).

Garry,
I cant wait for this one. I remember driving up the long road into Lydd and seeing a number of these "put out to grass". A sad sight :sad:

Hello Peter
Yes that sounds like the late sixties when the life was used up and it was uneconomic to extend them.

Still in the pre beta stage but things are progressing.
Still much to do on the exterior and still it is not mapped properly hence the part livery.
Basic internal hold detail is in the go now with temporary 'block' texturing.
As much can be seen through the large cockpit windows and through the large rear door, these areas will need internal detail as well.
A few progress pics from today
