Barracuda Studios release new wheelsets and cockpit upgrades (and so cheap!) for June
Barracuda Studios are proud and happy to announce six new products in our BarracudaCast line of resin accessories. Three of these new releases are aimed at one of my personal favourite aircraft, the Fw-190 in 1/48th scale. The cockpit set is designed specifically for the superb new tool Eduard kits, but can be very easily adapted to a host of other kits.
The other 3 sets are aimed at the Hawker Hurricane in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scales. These wheels are accurately sized, proportioned and detailed and include the uplock lug missing from so many kits and wheel sets.
All sets are now in production and ready to be ordered from the links below if you are interested.
