Not sure Grze, but I see what you mean!

I have a strong suspicion we'll see a BE12 at some point in the future, just needs a new fuselage.

Photographic evidence hows that Leefe Robinson's aircraft was converted to a single seater at some point (It's not known exact;y when, so it could have still been a twin seater at the time of the Zeppelin incident) so that's a fairly simple conversion from the kit.

Lots of other options, I quite fancy trying a BE9

Or build an balloon hang above it

That's a real trial of optimism-vs-aerodynamics! :) Wonder what VNE was for that contraption?

It certainly would make a striking model...just not sure how to build a 1/72 scale blimp or display it with the BE2 fuselage.
