-The initial F meaning was taken from propulsion plane designer Henry Farman, but later changed to Fighter meaning.
-Despite its awkward appearance and large size, it was suitable for bombing and reconnaissance, responding to changes in air combat.
-In 1915, the propulsion formula proved good to the observer and fought Fokker.
-Until the end of the war, it was used as escort, reconnaissance, bombing, especially as a night bomber.
-FE.2b initially had a 120hp engine but was later changed to a 160hp engine.
-Etching of seat belts etc. on parts with high precision mold.
-The decals are made by Cartograf, and there are variations.
-It is complete with a manual that includes a manual and a gorgeous kit.
-By all means, the main production is the reproduction of many tension lines.
-The frame in the latter half of the fuselage is also uneasy with ordinary bonding, so it seems that reinforcement of metal wires is necessary.

-Number of plastic parts 346
