All available right now from Barracuda Studios' web store.

Barracuda Studios is proud and excited to release ten new 3D printed (two are actually vacform) detail sets.

Airfix released a two stage Merlin powered Mosquito B MK XVI back in 2021 and followed it up with a PR XVI last year. Its a very nice kit, but could use some love in the detail department. Barracuda Studios to the rescue! I admit to being a huge fan of the Mosquito, especially the two stage marks, so these detail sets were high on my list of proirity products. These sets will add a very visible level of detail to your Mosquito! 

We have also released two styles of Zero length rockets as fitted to the Sea Fury, which will add that last bit of detail to the Airfix Sea Fury kit that we have done quite a few other upgrade sets for. Rounding out the batch is a very cool little 1/32 set for the big scale guys. This batch is heavily favoring 1/72, but do not worry. The next batch will be mostly large scale sets. 

All sets are now live and ready for sale on the Barraca Studios website.

Happy modelling! Roy

This set consists of a crystal clear vacformed bomber style canopy with bulged side windows as used on many B Mk. XVI and Mk. 35 Mosquitos. It features bulged side windows, finer frames and no external frames on the rear portion of the canopy, as the frames are internal on the real aircraft.

It features bulged side windows, the famous tall blister on the top escape hatch, finer frames and no external frames on the rear portion of the canopy, as the frames are internal on the real aircraft.

BR72469       1:72       Mosquito Mk XVI Landing Flaps - Down

 

 

This set Contains 3D printed port and stbd flaps molded in down position.

 

 

There is a reason that Mosquito model kits never give you the option of flaps in the down position. It's because they seem to hang in midair when lowered.

 

 

The connection points seem small and fragile, but Mike has come up with a very clever solution that supplies the inner and outer flap for each wing linked in one piece, easing alignment as well. It's pretty cool, and only requires removing a few ribs inside the wings.

The rockets and rails are printed as one piece and the folded metal clips that hold the rocket to the rail are not molded solid, but accurately represent the open gaps in the clips.
