About product

Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12b 1:48 (Roden)

An injection-molded plastic model of the British single-seat fighter biplane Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12b of the First World War in 1:48 scale from the Ukrainian brand Roden. The model captures the typical period wood-and-fabric structure with interplane struts and offers a clear part for the windscreen as well as decals for several machines.

The real subject

The B.E.12b was a British single-seat aircraft from the end of the First World War, used above all for the night defense of Britain against German bombers. It was based on the two-seat B.E.2 reconnaissance type but had only one seat and a more powerful engine. In the summer of 1918 it served to intercept raids over London and its surroundings, and once the raids ended it moved to coastal patrols.

Building and painting tips

Clean up the small parts from this early tooling and glue them with liquid modeling cement for plastic; the thin parts, the struts and the braces, can be strengthened with cyanoacrylate glue. On a biplane the symmetrical setting of the interplane struts and the subsequent bracing wires are the key - make them from stretched sprue or an elastic thread according to the enclosed diagram. Bring the fabric surfaces to life with fine accentuation of the ribs and with shading.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of First World War aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers with experience of building biplanes and of bracing wires
  • Anyone interested in the British night defense at the end of the war

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

Yes, it is a biplane of the First World War. Make the bracing wires from stretched sprue or an elastic thread according to the enclosed diagram; they are not included in the box.

Because of the small parts and the bracing wires it needs, it is better suited to modelers with experience of building biplanes.
