Just in time for Telford IPMS in the UK Roy from Barracuda Studios has released details on four new sets of
aftermarket replacements – (with four more to come tomorrow) Roy from Barracuda
will take you through the details of his beautiful replacement wheels for your
1/48th Mustang and your 72nd scale Blenheim..
Barracuda Studios is proud to announce the release of 4
all-new products in time for sale this weekend at Scale Model World 2012 in
Telford, England. Three of these are in 1/48th scale, and the 4th is our first
resin set in 1/72nd scale, which should make some modellers out there happy.
We've had a lot of requests for resin bits in this scale. There will be more to
follow in the next few months.
For those of you not attending, we will start taking
pre-orders on Saturday, November 10th. Shipping for these new sets will begin
on the 16th.
The new products are not yet up on the Barracuda Studios
website, but will be shortly.
BR48050 P-51 Mustang Oval Tread Pattern
Wheels $5.95
Two highly detailed and accurate mainwheels with oval
pattern tires and see through hubs make up this set. A quick and easy upgrade
for A-36 and P-51A,B,C,D, and K model Mustangs. You can see daylight through
real Mustang wheel hubs. Now you can recreate this in 1/48th scale.
BR48051 P-51 Mustang Hexagonal Tread Wheels $5.95
Accurate resin hexagonal tread pattern tires with
see-through hubs replace the kit wheels in any 1:48 kit of the A-36 and
P-51A,B,C,D and K variants. You can see daylight through real Mustang wheel
hubs. Now you can recreate this in 1/48th scale.
BR72057 Bristol Blenheim Mk.I-V Mainwheels $4.95
Accurate, detailed resin mainwheels replace undersized kit
parts for the 1/72 Frog, Airfix and Special Hobby Blenheim kits of all marks.
These wheels were designed from photos and dimensions taken off surviving
mainwheels and include raised logos on both sides. All 1/72 Blenheim kit wheels
are both too small and completely wrong in proportion and detail. This simple
upgrade will make short work of this problem.
BR48058 Bristol Blenheim Mk.I-V Mainwheels $6.95
Accurate, detailed resin mainwheels replace undersized kit
parts for the 1/48th scale Classic Airframes, Jaguar and vacform Blenheim kits
of all marks. These wheels were designed from photos and dimensions taken off
surviving mainwheels and include raised logos on both sides. Classic Airframes
later included correct diameter resin wheels, but they are still inaccurate.
If you will be at Scale Model World this weekend, please
stop by and introduce yourself. I'd like to meet you and talk with you.
A second announcement will be made in the next day or so
with another 4 new sets. The rest of the year promises to be a very busy time,
with many new products inching towards the finish line.
Happy modelling! Roy
