Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 18, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 18, 2018 Built this model last year, had it posted on TOS, now it’s time to show it here. It went together great and have been doing little improvements as time went on. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 18, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted August 18, 2018 She was heavily weathered to reflect open ocean duty, and I’ve felt pretty good about how she turned out. Decals are Pheon, Aviattic linen flying surfaces. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Wow, that's what I call a big bird. Lots of rigging and decaling involved, it seems. The Felixstowe is one of these models, which makes you wanting it. Only the enormous wingspan kept me from hitting the buy-button. Yours is looking greatly, even if my favourite would have been the black and white razzle-dazzle sheme, supplied with the early type. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 19, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted August 19, 2018 Thanks! Yes, I used a sea of aftermarket Pheon decals to finish mine, just to be different. Thanks for the nice comments. It is a HUGE wingspan, but if you rig with monofilament line, it’s remarkably strong when completed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those rare kits that makes a modeler look better than he actually is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Lies! Ernie is ultra-gifted and perhaps way too modest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 2 lb Maxima monofilament line for all structural rigging, and EZ Line for control lines to the tail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DannyVM Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ernie, i missed this build and end result due to problems ( logging in to another forum). That said, i'm just stunned by the shear quality and superb work that's been done by you mate. I'm a all-time WNW fan, in special the Felixstowe, and if i see such a build my heart just bleeds mate. Not because of the quality of your splendid work but by the fact that i don't have room to put such a beast. Regards Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 12, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks Danny! That means a lot. I'm building another Felixstowe now as well, an early version like that one, but this time I'm going to use the other Pheon set, the blue and white crosshatch, along with the semaphore mast and flags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
