It is one of the most recognizable military amphibians used by the USSR during the Cold War. The Be-12 was extensively employed for patrolling vast maritime areas, NATO submarine hunting missions, border surveillance, and search and rescue operations. To this day, some units remain in use for both civilian and military tasks, including firefighting.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical details of the model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAccurately reproduced fuselage and characteristic \"gull wings\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDistinct panel lines, sprues with a high level of detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOption to model the landing gear in a retracted or deployed position\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClear canopy and detailed cockpit interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe number of parts is well suited to the scale and not overwhelming for the modeller\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWho is this model for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    We recommend this kit to modelers of various experience levels: both intermediate hobbyists and collectors of maritime aviation history.
