Your build has convinced me to build a BE... if ever one is released in 1/32nd scale  ;D

Awesome job PrzemoL
This looks like a much bigger scale than 1/72.

It has all been written Prez: I am lost for superlatives to describe this.

Thank you, Rick, Alan and Stephen.

Rick, I would buy and build a WNW BE.2c, too  :)

Then some work on the RAF 1a engine started.




More to come...

Damn!

Sorry for opening an old topic, this is the first place I have found an identification of the engine

I was hoping it was the 70hp Renault

As far as I remember some earlier versions from BE.2 line used the Renault engine.

They did indeed. The CMR resin model has the 70HP Renault, I was hoping the Airfix had the same. The late B.E.2C had the RAF engine
