Title: 1/72 B.E.12b
Post by: herbarnold99 on February 23, 2021, 04:52:00 AM

This is a combination of the HR resin kit for the nose, tailplanes, and a few bits, mated with the Airfix B.E.2c. The Airfix kit had somewhat finer molding details and was easier to use for the main airframe.

Cheers
Herb

A very good conversion: the rigging is especially good. And as Rick has commented, it is in the Correct scale too!

A very nice model, with an impressive rigging in that small scale!
Looks on the pictures like quarter scale.

Cheers,
Frank

Missed this earlier, it's a real gem and appears of a larger scale. Very nice work, congratulations on a really beautiful model!

Herb,

Very nice job!  How did you make the turnbuckles?  Also, who's decals did you use for the national insignia?

Stuart

Thanks Stuart,

The turnbuckles are just blobs of white glue, painted dark silver. I think most of the decals were from an old Americal-Gryphon sheet, which conveniently offered some "whiteless" roundels...

Cheers
Herb
