This thread will be where I will be trying to do this beastie



The Modelsvit 1/72 Beriev Be-12

Sprue shots shortly

See, I ask about this on the Madge thread and here it is.

[Kitaholic]

Here are the sprue shots

Everything comes in ziplock bags, like that a lot



Unlike the Trumpeter Be-6, the fuselage comes in sections. No location pins or tabs, should be fun



Lots of little bits with fairly large gates. Seems to include full trunking for the turbos





Glazing looks pretty clear although the separate side panels for the canopy could be interesting. Small PE fret and vinyl tyres. No AM wheels at the mo so will have to see how these go

[Arcwelder]

That looks.... challenging.

You've got your work cut out and that's no mistake. Same with your other offering.

[Kitaholic]

Yep, luckily I'm off next week so should make some good inroads then. Base interior colour is on both anyway so time to build and detail paint now

[Kitaholic]

Cockpit together now and installed in one side, have to build the wheel wells next






Simpler cockpit and less wasted time than the Be-6

Excellent work on the cockpit.

[shangos70]

Lots of lovely detail in there.

[Kitaholic]

Thanks, there's 17 decals in there for the various panels

Main fuselage closed up now and started on the sub-assemblies. Some plastic tabs have been inserted into the rear of the main fuselage as the rear fuselage is simply butted on an is a clear weak point.

Can anyone spot the error on this page?

Can anyone spot the error on this page?

The droopy dihedral on the tail? .....did you notice before or after gluing?

[Kitaholic]

luckily before

Lucky you spotted it.
