1/72 Felixstowe F.2A

by Andrew Eaton

--------------------

 

This is the Roden Felixstowe completed straight from the box with the addition of the rigging and control lines.  The decals are from the kit and went on with no problems, for the black/white dazzle pattern, I made use of the excellent AIMS decal sheet which saved what would otherwise have been a very complicated masking process.

The rigging was done with fishing line and the control wires with stretched sprue.  A long, but in the end enjoyable build. The two main problem areas were installing the upper wing and attaching the tailplane control wires, but both of these areas eventually came out fine after several attempts.
