Felixstowe of Imperial Japanese Navy

Roden kit of Felixstowe contains a large amount of details, absolutely perfect for engines and machine guns.
Rigging is a difficult challenge, but necessary for the special design of these aircrafts.
I used wood skin self adesive, inside and outside the fuselage.
Now my work in progress is for two fliying boats of Imperial Japanese Navy, in service from 1921 until to middle
of 1930, both from Yokosuka Kokutai (Y-14, the first airplane from UK, built by Short Co., and Y-61, built
by Hiro under licence, with some improvementes and new engines, different from the Rolls Royce Eagle of Y-14).
