A guy named David Heiser has written an article on modeling tubes using Koren's models. You can read about it here:

On page 24 he mentions the 12B4, and how he had problems modeling it correctly. Nonetheless, here is a spice model based on the values he presented:
It is a PSpice model, so it should work LTspice as well.
