Felixstowe - Roden 1/72

I finally finished the Flying Boat.  Tiny things kept getting knocked off and unglued during the build, but I refused to throw it against the wall.  EZ-Line was used for the rigging.

The Felixstowe saw service late in WWI along the English coast hunting U-boats and zeppelins.  It was a large aircraft with a wingspan of about 95 ft.



































Thanks to everyone for their comments along the way.

Superb job Mike! All the more amazing because of its size. I'm glad you didn't give up on it.

I really really like this, bi-planes are my fav and this is simply awesome. The rigging and detail make this a big winner!

Great build. It must have been fun doing all that rigging.
