Description
Description
The Felixstowe F.2 was a 1917 British flying boat designed and developed by Lt Commander John Porte RN whilst serving at the naval air station Felixstowe during WW1.
Porte adapted a Felixstowe F.1 and married it to a larger Curtiss H-12 flying boat. The Felixstowe hull had superior water contacting attributes and became a key base technology for most seaplane designs thereafter.
The Felixstowe F.2A was used as a patrol aircraft over the North Sea until the end of the war. Its excellent performance and maneuverability made it an effective and popular type, often fighting enemy patrol and fighter aircraft, as well as hunting U-boats and Zeppelin airships.
Our 1/32 scale wood model comes in the late war ‘dazzle’ camouflage pattern and is available in a limited number of 4 models worldwide. The excellent figures and equipment shown are mainly from John Jenkins designs and are not included, they are shown for scale purposes only.
