1/72 Beriev Be-12 "Prototype" flying boat

The Beriev Be-12 "Prototype" flying boat is a 1/72-scale plastic model kit of a flying boat or amphibious aircraft from Modelsvit. Flying boats and amphibious aircraft are notable for their combination of aviation and naval details, large fuselage surfaces, and distinctive shapes. This model is based on one of the less common prototypes or experimental designs, making it an interesting addition to any collection.

Modelsvit focuses on unusual aircraft models, prototypes, and types that rarely appear in standard catalogs. The kit is supplied as an unassembled plastic model intended to be glued together and painted.

Building Recommendations

• Type: Plastic kit of a flying boat or amphibious aircraft
• Scale: 1/72
• Before gluing, we recommend test-fitting the parts and performing a dry fit to verify the geometry of the wings, tail surfaces, and landing gear.
• It is advisable to paint the cockpit, landing gear bays, and underwing armament as separate subassemblies.
• For a clean finish, use primer, thin layers of paint, and a final coat of clear coat according to the chosen camouflage scheme.

Model adhesives, fillers, sanding, primers, and model paints are suitable for this build. Paints and adhesive are not included in the kit unless otherwise explicitly stated on the packaging.
