Your close, it wouldn’t be 6 ft it would be 6 inches, I know that is just a misread but I thought I would clarify.

Answer:

6ft tall

Explanation:

Given we know that the scale is 1 in 2ft.

Using this information we know we could divide 12/2=6. We also know that we could multiply 2×6=12. Therefore, we know that the model plane is 6ft tall.

I hope this helps!
