Barracuda Studios new enhancements for many aircraft kits in December

Barracuda Studios is proud and excited to announce the latest batch of new products.

The Barracuda Studios team are continuing to develop their 3D printing capabilities, and the majority of new products are 3D printed in gray resin. For the modeller, this new medium offers some real advantages for some types of parts. For other parts, such as wheels, their yellow tan cast resin is a better material. Both are excellent mediums to reproduce super detailed and accurate upgrade parts for your model kits.

This batch of new parts focuses heavily on 1/72nd subjects, as they have been a bit neglected of late. If 1/48th is your scale, Barracuda have new sets coming soon for you in January.

1/72 scale
Price: $6.95
This set consists of accurate and detailed 3D printed de Havilland and Rotol spinners to replace the inaccurate Airfix kit spinners. The kit Rotol spinner is far too long, and the de Havilland Spinner is too bulbous. A simple drop fit replacement that will make a real improvement in your model. Designed for the new tool Airfix Mk. Vc and other Spitfire V kits. Designed by Mike O'Hare.

This set contains a pair of accurate resin mainwheels with smooth tires (seen increasingly on Fw 190s in the last year of the war), solid wheel hubs and detailed tire logo and data.
