G'day Norm
As an old Bristol Aviation Services Australia employee and keen RAAF Historian I can tell you that the RAAF never operated the Superfreighter version of the Bristol Freighter. We had a few of the original type and later got a few with modifications such as the inclusion of a chin window arrangement from the Pakistani Air Force. I doubt any of the latter actual served in RAAF colours. If you want to go so far as modifying the Superfreighter kit back to the standard short nose version I could probably forward you some RAAF colour details. We still have one at the RAAF Museum Point Cook in Victoria.
