The old Harleyford book, "Fighter Aircraft of the 1914-1918 War" provides
both 1/72 drawing and photos. The BE.12 was a BE.2 with the front cockpit
faired over and a more powerful motor. The motor appears to be a V-12
version of the V-8 used in the 2-seater. There were several variants
depending largely on which version of the BE.2 was used as a staring point.
Hope this helps.
