Barracuda Studios seem well known to many HyperScalers, and they have a well-established reputation for accuracy and quality products. It should come as no surprise then that the products reviewed here are all flawlessly produced, with very nice detail levels. I will talkie BarracudaCast at their word regarding the improved accuracy they profess their products will provide, and so quote their website in each case.   

BR72087 Fw 190A-1 thru A-8 Prop & Spinner.

(pictured at top of page) This upgrade contains three seamless detailed resin prop blades and a detailed spinner with 12 blade cooling fan. Replaces inaccurate kit parts for the Tamiya Fw 190A-3, as well as the AZ, Zvezda, Airfix, and Academy 190A & F kits.

BR72088 Fw 190A-1 thru A-4 Wheels & Gear Doors.

 

 

This quick and easy upgrade contains accurate, detailed resin early style main wheels and gear doors. Replaces the undersized main wheels and thick doors on Tamiya’s A-3. Also for the AZ, Zvezda kits, as well as any Fw 190A-5 kit.

BR72090 Albatros D.V & D.Va Main Wheels.

 

 

This new set consists of one pair of super detailed resin wheels to replace the Eduard, Roden, Revell and Airfix kit wheels. For all Albatros variants, as well as the Pfalz D.III and D.IIIa.

BR72091 Me 109B, C, D & E Main Wheels.

 

 

Super detailed resin wheels with accurate tire tread in this set replace the Airfix, Tamiya, ICM, Academy, Hasegawa, and Hobby Boss Me 109B-E kit wheels. Will also work for all 109F and G-2 kits.

These sets are produced to a high standard and should improve the appearance of their intended kits; all are recommended.

Thanks to Barracuda Studios for the review samples.
