There is a lot of polys on in the nose as it needs to be smooth inside and out.
I don't think anyone has noticed the little door opening handle turning on the starboard side in front of the ladder
Also the windscreen wipers work on the inside only..that's Fraser's work
And the door handle on the pax door operates too.
The Western model I've only see for real once....in London, as they don't sell them locally...they've gone anyway now
The one I saw was in Channel Air Bridge livery
Shame that they were rather expensive as there was some nice subjects.

The Superfreighter is in our file library as a WIP release
TCA were Bristol Freighter Mk.31, not Superfreighters

Re: Bristol 170 Superfreighter
The Freighter is looking great Gary. Have you seen the virtual cockpit of the Canadian Bristol Freighter in Winnipeg?

I remember seeing them lumbering into Montreal as a kid. TCA bought three for the New York run while waiting for the Vanguard to be rolled out. My Dad was with maintenance central for TCA from 1946 until very recently (he retired eventually at the age of 86!!)

Re: Bristol 170 Superfreighter
Thanks for that
The cockpit won't play for me
As mention above that is a different type of aeroplane to the one modelled

Re: Bristol 170 Superfreighter
Sorry. Being a newby I replied to an earlier thread without noting that there were 21 pages already posted, including a reply to my post. I will be more careful in future.
The virtual cockpit is not exactly a video. It plays on Quicktime. The link still works for me and gives a good 360 view (zoomable) look around the cockpit. It may take time to load on older computers?
Great aircraft though. I was always dissapointed with Stone's Freighter as it did not have operable doors nor a VC.
