After paying $2 for a Masterkit 1/144 scale Beriev Be-12, Alex realized he got what he paid for. The aircraft required a ton of work, which included filling and correcting panel lines, cutting open the water-tank doors, replacing the engines with 3D printed ones, and designing and printing new decals. He installed the model on a clear rod mounted to a birch slab and simulated water with polyester fiber.
