Roy from Barracuda
Studios has sent us pictures and info on the new sets they have released to
suit some well-known 48th, 32nd and even 24th
scale aircraft that will have a lot of modellers rubbing their hands together.
Let’s see what’s new at Barracuda Studios…
Barracuda Studios new items for June 2015
Barracuda Studios are
proud to announce 8 new products. They are all up on the website and ready for
sale.
Starting out with 3 sets in 1/48th scale for the gorgeous
Eduard Spitfire VIII/IX and soon to be released XVI kits. For the 1/32nd scale modeller,
they have some badly needed Bearcat wheels designed to replace the Trumpeter
kit wheels. For the 1/24th scale aficionado, new seats for the Airfix Typhoon
kit.
Lastly, our first item in a line of Barracuda Swag. This
high quality mouse pad will class up any joint!
Spitfire Mk IX Seamless Upper Cowling.
BR48191
1/48 scale
This set contains one seamless one piece upper cowling for
the Eduard Spitfire Mk VIII and IX kits. The kit cowling is moulded in two
parts. Assembling them and sanding out the seam without destroying all that
incredibly fine rivet and fastener detail is very fussy and time consuming
work. We've done that for you. A simple, one piece, drop-fit replacement part
that helps you get on to the fun part! Also perfect for conversions to Mk.s
VII, X and XI.
Spitfire Mk XVI Seamless Upper Cowling.
BR48191
1/48 scale
This set contains one seamless one piece upper cowling for
the Eduard Spitfire Mk XVI kit. This cowling is subtly bulged to clear the
American-built Packard Merlin engines fitted the XVI. The kit cowling is moulded
in two parts. Assembling them and sanding out the seam without destroying all
that incredibly fine rivet and fastener detail is very fussy and time consuming
work. We've done that for you. A simple, one piece, drop-fit replacement part
that helps you get on to the fun part!
Spitfire Mk IX Snapshot Cockpit Upgrade.
BR48194
1/48 scale
This set contains highly accurate and detailed replacement
resin parts for the cockpit door, gunsight, stick, throttle and retract
quadrants, and seat with moulded-in belts. Also included is a new clear film
with much improved instrument dials and a sheet of cockpit stencil decals. It
is designed to install quickly and easily in the Eduard Spitfire Mk IX, but can
be adapted to any other 48th scale Spitfire IX as well. Master patterns by Roy
Sutherland.
