Sneak Preview

Barracuda Studios is proud to announce another batch of new resin parts to debut this weekend at Scale Model World 2014 in Telford, England. These sets are all to 1/72nd scale, and are targeted at four popular new kits from Airfix, the Blenheim Mk I and IV and the BAC Lightning F2A and F6.

Time is short as I'm leaving in about 30 hours, so I'll make this short. More information after the show!

BR72196 Blenheim Intake and Exhaust Set

This set consists of accurate and detailed standard and desert carburettor intakes, ram air oil cooler intakes, exhaust stacks, fuel dumps and venturi, all of which are hollowed out. Designed as a drop fit replacement for the Airfix Blenheim Mk I and IV kit parts. Will also work for other kits of all marks.

BR72057 Bristol Blenheim Mainwheels

Accurate, detailed resin mainwheels replace undersized kit parts for the new 1/72 Airfix Blenheim Mk I and IV. These wheels were designed from photos and dimensions taken off surviving mainwheels and include raised logos on both sides. All 1/72 Blenheim kit wheels are both too small and completely wrong in proportion and detail. This simple upgrade will make short work of this problem. Will also work on other kits of all marks.

BR72209 BAC Lightning Landing Gear Upgrade

This set contains a pair of detailed mainwheels with accurate tread and tire data and a new separate nosewheel with a highly detailed nosegear leg to replace the simple one piece part in the Airfix Lightning kits. A simple and easy upgrade.

BR72210 BAC Lightning Exhaust Nozzles

Set consists of a pair of accurate exhaust nozzles with detailed afterburner petals inside and out. A simple and quick upgrade that directly replaces the kit parts.

BR72213 Martin Baker Mk 4 Lightning Ejection seat (Images pending)

This set contains a pair of very detailed Mk 4 BSA ejection seats, complete with crisply molded in seat and parachute harness. This may well be the most accurate and detailed 72nd Mk 4 seat. The Mk 4 was fitted to a large number of aircraft, including Mirage, Canberra, late Hunters, Sea Venom, Sea Vixen, Scimitar, Strikemaster, Provost and others.

Sets will go up for sale on the website later next week. Hope to see you at the show this weekend. If you are going, please stop by and say hello.

Happy modelling! Roy
