Roy Sutherland has sent the following information and images of the latest releases in his range of accessories, which are available to order now:

Barracuda Studios is proud to announce the release of 8 new resin detail sets.

Four new wheel sets in 1/72nd scale plug some gaps in the high quality detailed wheel line for British aircraft. The Defiant wheels are designed directly to replace the undersized kit wheels and basic tailwheel in the brand new Airfix kit.

The 1/48th scale Bearcat Wheels are a first. First time the early style Bearcat wheels have ever been modelled, as far as we know. These were fitted to all F8F-1 Bearcats. The separate slotted hub and brake ring add dimension and detail to these wheels. The late style wheels have never been accurately done before either. These will be a huge improvement to any Bearcat kit you fit them to. Designed from careful measurements taken off actual wheels.

Finally, the WWI British wicker seats in 1/32nd feature stunning detail. These seats were not fitted as standard equipment, but pilots ordered them from catalogs and had them fitted to their mounts. Not sure if the aircraft you are modelling had a wicker seat fitted? Who cares? It going to look amazing and cool!

One super detailed wicker style seat as fitted to many WWI British aircraft types, such as Sopwith Camel, Pup and Triplane, S.E.5 and S.E.5a, DH.2, R.E.8 and more.
