The set 1:32 Felixstowe F.2A N4512 from AIMS brings the markings of another named patrol flying boat from the end of the First World War.
Responsibility details are not available.
The second of the pair of specific AIMS sets for the large Felixstowe F.2A model. These waterslide decals in 1:32 scale cover the markings of a single machine, so the choice shrinks to deciding which of the boats you want on the shelf.
The notes of Commander Gerald Livock describe a flight of 18 March 1918, when on this boat he attacked two German aircraft off Terschelling, pursued them to Borkum and on the way home had to defend himself against three fighters. He arrived home with eighty bullet holes in the hull and with a coat and a flying boot shot through. A story like that is rarely found with a production kit. The boats from the stations of eastern England got into such duels repeatedly, because German floatplane fighters sought them out far from the coast.
The hull of a boat has a marine character and the underside tends to be marked by landings, so let the decals age along with it. A light rubbing back of the edges with an abrasive sponge looks more convincing than a perfectly sharp print. On large surfaces it pays to work in smaller sections. Consider too whether you will seat the machine on the water or on a beaching trolley, because that changes the whole reading of the scene.
The delivery includes decals and the reference for the markings.
