Yes today was one of those Saturdays when, in the early evening I decided that there was enough time left to do a second painting. So this is a painting of a Bristol Superfreighter.
Yes, there was an Airfix model kit of this plane and no, I never made it when I was a kid.
The Superfreighter itself was first made in 1953 and it was
used essentially for cross channel air services. Sir Freddie Laker, the budget
airline pioneer, got his start in the aviation industry with his airline
Channel Air Bridge which used Superfreighters and other planes.
I will be honest, now. I am running out of subjects to
paint of which there is/was an Airifx kit that I never owned and built, which I
wish that I had done. I’ve got three or four more up my sleeve, though.
