Sorry to be so late to respond, but welcome aboard, Alistair! I've always had a fascination with wooden ship models, but could never bring myself to spend money or devote the time to a proper model. When WNW released the Felixstowe, I bought one in lieu of it's wooden ancestors. I look forward to seeing your models and, by all means, get the Felistowe. It's a great kit.
Cheers,
Bud
