Barracuda Studios is proud to announce the release of 8 new sets in 1/48th and 1/72nd scale.

The British WWI wicker seats have been very popular in 1/32nd scale, and we have received many requests for scaled down versions of both styles. Your wish is our command. They are now available in both 1/72 and 1/48 scale. You have to see the detail to believe it.

The new tool 1/72 Airfix Beaufighter is gorgeous and is due to be released very soon. We have 4 styles of mainwheels ready to go. Read on!
