Very nice to see the history of the build from box opening to final display all in one video. An excellent build sir. A lot of time, effort, work, and love went into the project. And somehow it now does not seem to be two months since you started it. Now sit back, relax, enjoy your creation, and toast yourself with nice glass of fine wine. Cheers Max.👍👍👍👍👍

Good job chaps!! Bang on!!!

Max, you did a beautiful job on the Felixstowe! I've never seen a kit that complex. I do believe I am too chicken to take on something that complex. 🐔🐥🐓🍗

Strictly one for the experts. A wonderful job, on a kit that would be beyond many, including me. A stunning build.

Awesome job!! Now we need to get a ride in the real thing, lol. Keep on modeling!

With that score as a buildup, I half expected Lord Flashheart [from the Black Adder universe] to hop out and fly it off. ''Jolly good. Switches On. Contact. [Brrrup pop. VarROOOM] Right then. Be seeing you........''

Great ... a photo montage of the build... And the troops are marching to... Tiparrary ... ( did I spell that right ????? ) I’ve been listening to CLASSICAL MUSIC while I build... very soothing , helps me focus... I’m waiting for the CREDITS TO START RUNNING UP THE SCREEN... video editing... MAX KOHNKE musical selection... MAX KOHNKE miniature building... MAX KOHNKE graphics... MAX KOHNKE should I go on ????? I enjoyed this , the FELIXSTOW was a lot of WORK... I THINK YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF... I would love to BUILD A DISPLAY CASE FOR IT... great job MISTER... it was a nice way to end the day...

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing the whole process.

Just now thought of the old joke about the Rary bird. The punch line was "That's a long way to tip a Rary".

Wow, Max! That ship is sooo steampunk! I just made the connection. Excellent, excellent craft. Thank you for sharing.

I am inspired to try a biplane of my own. Rigging has always intimidated me, Thanks for the tips.

Wasn't expecting this.😊 Almost like building a built up Balsa model.

Wow! A great amount of work! That's such a unique airplane -- thanks for the photo montage as well as your video coverage of this!

Max using parts the Blue Max sound track, priceless!!

Right on! 👏👏 Congratulations on completing this project 👍 It’s been fun following along! It’s cool the Felixstowe got its own video, but it almost deserves its own channel! Congrats again🍸🍸

Congrats on the Felixstowe build. Don't think I'm quite ready yet to tackle rigging.

Me thinks, Herr Max, this build deserves to be in a museum. You certainly MODELLED ON to the extreme.

Max, you'll be hard pressed to top this kit build! You've used and developed new techniques. I look forward to your next top quality kit build. But if you're like me, you'll take a little time to relax with a few easy kits. Then, stretch your skills again! 😎

Nice kit. I'd still be deciding whether to open it or not.

In the movie Das boot they play That Tipperary song 😀

Simply . . . . sublime!

Max, beautiful work. I know you had some problems but it looks great! One question....what did you use to paint you interior wood parts? They really look like wood. One more thing...I’m watching this video on my large screen tv system....the music sounds incredible on my surround system. Kudos all the way around! Have a good one, Max!

Hell of a kit and a great build.

Awesome Max! Just awesome!

Looks great man!

Seeing such a complex build through to the end is an achievement in itself, Bravo Zulu Max. It certainly stretched and developed your model building muscles! Great job and well deserved of it's place on the perch.

Quite the build - far more courageous than I I know it's still not quite done but still it is a great piece as it stands.

Jeepers. All those tiny pieces. It's probably easier to just build a real one. It looks phenomenal. Way to go! I have the Bristol F2-b from Wingnut Wings and it's not half as daunting a project.

To be honest for some reason I thought the Felixstowe was German. In any case very good work and thank you.

This comment made me smile Michael! It DOES look very German, especially with the red and white 'dazzle' paint job, but Felixstowe is a sea port on the east coast of England so an unlikely choice of name for the Germans to choose 😁.

Amazing build, in awe ! Did the eyelets for the rigging come with the kit ? Thanks

I've followed you, fascinated, as you've built this over the weeks. It has been enlightening to watch an experienced modeller negotiate the challenge of such a high skill level kit. Thanks for the hours of entertainment that this, and your other work, brings us all.
