Barracuda Studios
is about to release a whole batch of new products at the IPMS National
Convention next week, starting on August 14, 2013.
Here is a sneak peak of two of these new releases. They are
not available for pre-order yet, but will be soon. Both are for the new Hawker
Tempest Mk V from Pacific Coast Models, but will also work for other Tempest
kits, and the second type will work for a few other British aircraft types as
well.
BR32124 32" 4-Slot
Mainwheels - Smooth Tread 1/32
scale
This set consists of a pair of super detailed, accurate resin main wheels with smooth tires as fitted to Hawker Tempest V, series II and later variants, such as the MK II and Mk VI when operating primarily from grass or unimproved airfields. Designed for all 1:32 Tempest kits.
BR32125: 32" 4-Slot
Mainwheels - Staggered Block Tread 1/32 Scale
This set consists of a pair of super detailed, accurate
resin main wheels with staggered block tire tread as fitted to post-war
Tempests when operating primarily from concrete runways. This wheel was also
fitted to all variants of Post-war Fireflies, all variants of the de Havilland
Hornet and Sea Hornet, and the mighty, but unpopular, Blackburn Firebrand.
While no kits of these aircraft are currently available in injection, surely someone will take pity on us. These wheels are not, however, applicable to the Hawker Sea Fury, as this was fitted with smaller 30" tires.

More 1/32
announcements will follow tomorrow from Barracuda Studios, with a
decidedly American flavour…..
