Description
Special Hobby - 1/72 Martin B-12A US Bomber The Martin company started a revolution in aircraft design with its bomber family B-10, B-12 and B-14, the designation varied because of the engines used. In the early 1930s when fabric-skinned biplanes ruled the skies, an all-metal monoplane suddenly appeared, with closed cockpits and engines completely hidden in their cowlings. Not only were these new bomber aeroplanes faster than other bombers of the time, they even outpaced fighter types, which in retrospect caused the need for faster monoplane fighters. The aeroplane design concept required serious changes worldwide.
The B-12 version was powered by R-1690 radials, the early and late varieties differed by the style of the top cowling air intakes. Our model kit brings both of these. The schemes in the kit cover four machines, three in blue and yellow, the fourth in aluminium dope. The aircraft portrayed differ by the bomber unit insignias.
