1/72 Airfix - Bristol Superfreighter

A 1/72 scale model kit of the Bristol Superfreighter, a British twin-engine transport aircraft designed for short-haul ferry services in the post-war era. Developed from the Bristol Freighter, the Superfreighter featured an enlarged fuselage and wider loading doors, making it ideal for carrying cars, cargo, and passengers across the English Channel and other regional routes. Operated primarily by Silver City Airways, it played a crucial role in vehicle ferry transport before the rise of large-scale roll-on/roll-off ferries.

Features:

• Accurately moulded fuselage with Superfreighter-specific modifications
• Detailed cockpit and cargo bay with openable loading doors
• Twin radial engines with realistic propeller detailing
• Landing gear with detailed wheel wells and struts
• Decals for authentic airline liveries, including Silver City Airways

A fantastic kit for aviation history enthusiasts, classic airliner collectors, and modellers interested in post-war commercial transport aircraft.

This classic kit is reissued using Airfix’s original moulds, preserving the charm and character of the original release. It features finely moulded parts, updated decals, and the iconic retro-style box art that defines the Vintage Classics series. A great choice for both nostalgic modellers and aviation history enthusiasts.
