About product

The Felixstowe F.2A flying boat with the number N4283

Decals in the large 1:32 scale for a single machine. The set is specific: instead of a general offering of markings it gives the modeler the reference for one documented aircraft, including the fuselage number and the distinguishing elements it carried.

A patrol giant over the North Sea

The Felixstowe F.2A came about by joining the boat hull of the designer Porte with wings of American design and a pair of Rolls-Royce Eagle engines. It flew far out over the sea, searched for submarines and airships and not infrequently got into a fight with German floatplane fighters. The machine with the number N4283 was built by the Saunders firm and in the spring of 1918 operated from Great Yarmouth; among its crews the names Livock and Leckie appear. The crews spent long hours over the water without the aids we know today and found their way mainly by compass and an estimate of wind drift.

Before you start

The surfaces of a flying boat are enormous and the fabric covering is visible, so lay the decals on a perfectly smooth gloss and push the air out with a soft cloth from the center outward. The striking patrol patterns are usually sprayed through masks, with decals adding mainly the numbers and the insignia. A model of this size also stands handling badly, so prepare a stand or a soft bed in advance.

Who will appreciate it

  • builders of First World War aircraft
  • lovers of seaplanes and naval equipment
  • modelers of large spans in 1:32 scale
  • anyone interested in patrol service over the North Sea

The package is made up of decals; the airframe of the aircraft is bought separately.

FAQ

The aim is fidelity to a single documented aircraft, including elements that differed on the other boats.

The markings are handled as a whole for the machine in question, so reckon with roundels as well as numbers.

Yes, just reckon with large surfaces calling for patience and work in smaller sections.
