Boeing P12/B4F shortkit lasercut

Early in 1928, Boeing built two new fighter biplanes using bolted aluminum tubing for the fuselage’s internal structure, rather than welded steel tubing. Later versions had aluminum covering the fuselage rather than fabric or wood. David designed this exact 1/4 Scale Boeing P12/B4F to be suitable for R/C competition, a museum static display or everyday enjoyment at your R/C flying field! This aircraft, like other Andersen Designs has a removable tail for easy transport.  This design is perfect for a DA 85cc (or similar) gas engine or makes for a unique electrically powered model with a large open area in the front of the fuselage.

Brief Aircraft History Model 83, designed for the Navy, had a hook-type arrester so that it could land on aircraft carriers. Its production version was designated F4B. Model 89, built for the Army as the P-12, could hold a 500-pound (226-kilogram) bomb. The military bought 586 of these fighters in different versions. The first was delivered to Army Air Corps Captain Ira C. Eaker on Feb. 26, 1929, for a special goodwill flight to Central America. Later, Brazil became an international customer for the fighters. Boeing built four commercial versions of the model; the U.S. Bureau of Air Commerce, precursor to the Federal Aviation Agency, bought one, and Howard Hughes bought a two-seat version.
