Roden 429 Bristol F.2B (With Sunbeam Arab Motor) 1:48

Roden 429 Bristol F.2B (With Sunbeam Arab Motor) is a high-quality plastic model kit in 1:48 scale, allowing you to build the famous British fighter-reconnaissance aircraft from the First World War. The model is dedicated to demanding modelers seeking precise replicas of historic machines, as well as all enthusiasts of military aviation in miniature.

The Bristol F.2B Fighter was one of the most important Allied two-seater aircraft of World War I, produced in Britain by the Bristol company. The variant included in this set features the Sunbeam Arab engine, providing an accurate representation of a lesser-known version of this aircraft. Bristol F.2B aircraft debuted on the Western Front in 1917 and were widely used by both the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and Royal Air Force (RAF) as escort fighters and reconnaissance machines, proving the effectiveness of the heavy two-seater fighter concept. They were operated until the end of the war and even afterwards – in various colonial conflicts and during the interwar period.

The Roden 429 model is made from high-quality plastic and features details reproduced with great attention to historical accuracy. The kit includes a richly decorated decal sheet and a detailed assembly manual, enabling you to paint the model in authentic RAF colors from the Great War. The kit parts are precisely replicated – realistic truss structures, a detailed crew cockpit, and a machine gun ensure a satisfying building experience.
