Description

This is a paintable 1:144 scale miniature of a late-model R.A.F. B.E.2c. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.

This is a late-model B.E.2c with an enlarged fin, vee undercarriage, and two Lewis guns for the front-seat observer. Early-production and mid-production models are also available.

While the B.E.2c was a fine machine for the demands of 1914, it suffered in 1915 with the rise of the Fokker Eindeckers, and by 1916-1917 it was hopelessly outmatched by its opponents. So while we remember it today as a hapless victim of “Bloody April”, the story is really that it was allowed to soldier on much past its natural lifetime when it should have been replaced in 1916.

The model is offered in different materials. See the FAQ for a comparison of the different material choices. In the Shipping tab, please note the increased shipping costs for an order with mixed materials.

Shipping:  Shipping varies from about US$7 to US$15 per order, depending on the destination country.  See your cart for an exact number — the prices may vary with currency fluctuations.  Orders over US$300 may get free shipping (but see the note on mixed materials).

Mixed Materials:  Nylon prints are shipped from a different factory than resin prints, so if you place an order with a mix of Nylon and Resin, you will be charged shipping for each material, and each will arrive separately.

Taxes:  Sales tax — where applicable — will be added for U.S. shipments.  Value-added taxes (VAT) may (or may not) be collected by your postal carrier on receipt, which is known as “Delivery At Place”.  Unfortunately, since my printing and shipping partner has no way of marking shipments as VAT-paid, this website cannot collect VAT on your behalf.

Customs:  Most orders should be small enough to avoid customs duties, but you may want to check your local regulations.  If duties are due, they may be collected by your postal carrier.  E.U. customers may be able to avoid duties by keeping their order under €150.
