i stumbled upon this link
https://www.modelimex.com/1-48-raf-be-12a

Interesting, and I hope it is true for the benefit of the 1/48th guys and gals. Also it would be nice just to see Roden dipping their feet in the WW1 aircraft pond again! That being said I checked the Roden Site and they don't show it as in processing?

Like you Rick I did a thorough search of the Roden website, nothing was found relating to this kit.

i looked at rodens site too but the modelimex site even has a kit number of rdn-48409 i dont know what to think. they already have a 1/48 be2c and be12b and when it came to the dh-9 dh-4 and bristol they did multiple mods. i am hopeful and its not a hard mod. the main diff from the be12b is the nose and wing config.we shall see

Scott, as wonderful as that would be, that has been listed on Modelimex and Hannants for years.

Ah, those were the days... when each year a new glossy catalogue would come out; but you never got anything more than those pencil-style sketches.
And the kit numbers would be listed and find their way onto retailers online shops, understandably so, it created the illusion that they would have the kit first etc etc.
My personal biggest disappointment was the non-appearance of the Staaken R.VI R.30. If you don't know about this machine, you should look it up; it had an extra engine purely to supercharge the others, for altitude performance. It's the one in Haddow and Grosz's R-planes book with imaginary 'Fletcher's World' markings for its part in a post war film. Yes, so two different marking schemes would have been possible.
True, I never heard any hint that it was coming, but if you look closely at the sprues for, I believe, the first Roden R.VI kit of the R.27, you can spot unused parts that could only have been intended for the R.30. Shame! No, it really does seem that Roden has given up on the Great War, but at least we've had some lovely stuff from them on the way.

I've been putting off converting Gavia's Fokker D.II to a D.III because Special Hobby had a D.III listed years ago. I've given up.
