Special Hobby 72446 B-12A US Bomber 'Yellow Wings Over America' 1/72 – plastic model kit

Special Hobby 72446 B-12A US Bomber 'Yellow Wings Over America' is a highly detailed 1/72 scale plastic model kit that will surely enhance any aviation enthusiast’s collection. It represents the B-12A bomber, used by the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) during the interwar period, mainly from 1933–1940. This was one of the last American biplane bombers and an important link in the evolution of US air strategy before World War II.

The B-12A is renowned for its striking yellow-and-blue "Yellow Wings" livery, characteristic of US interwar aviation. The kit includes decals allowing you to depict several historical paint schemes of USAAC units from the late 1930s, such as the 7th Bombardment Group stationed at March Field in California. The model stands out for its faithful reproduction of the bomber’s silhouette—from clearly molded engines and crew cockpit, to carefully crafted landing gear, down to cockpit interior details and gun turrets.
