Barracuda Studios is proud to announce 8 new products. They are all up on the website and ready for sale.

Starting out with 3 sets in 1/48th scale for the gorgeous Eduard Spitfire VIII/IX and soon to be released XVI kits. For the 1/32nd scale modeler, we have some badly needed Bearcat wheels designed to replace the Trumpeter kit wheels. For the 1/24th scale aficionado, new seats for the Airfix Typhoon kit.

Lastly, our first item in a line of Barracuda Swag. This high quality mousepad will class up any joint!

BR48191 1/48 scale Spitfire Mk IX Seamless Upper Cowling

This set contains one seamless one piece upper cowling for the Eduard Spitfire Mk VIII and IX kits. The kit cowling is molded in two parts. Assembling them and sanding out the seam without destroying all that incredibly fine rivet and fastener detail is very fussy and time consuming work. We've done that for you. A simple, one piece, drop-fit replacement part that helps you get on to the fun part! Also perfect for conversions to Mks VII, X and XI.

BR48191 1/48 scale Spitfire Mk XVI Seamless Upper Cowling.

This set contains one seamless one piece upper cowling for the Eduard Spitfire Mk XVI kit. This cowling is subtly bulged to clear the American-built Packard Merlin engines fitted the the XVI. The kit cowling is molded in two parts. Assembling them and sanding out the seam without destroying all that incredibly fine rivet and fastener detail is very fussy and time consuming work. We've done that for you. A simple, one piece, drop-fit replacement part that helps you get on to the fun part!

This set contains highly accurate and detailed replacement resin parts for the cockpit door, gunsight, stick, throttle and retract quadrants, and seat with molded-in belts.
