Roy Sutherland has sent us details of the latest resin upgrades from Barracuda Studios. This month sees the Tu-22, MiG-21, Mosquito and Bf 109 in the limelight in various scales.

Barracuda Studios is proud to announce our latest releases. We have moved into a new location 3 weeks ago, but we are back in action. These new products are all in stock and ready to ship. The new releases cover four scales, from 72nd to 24th, including our first ever resin set for a car model! Fear not, airplanes are still our primary focus.

Here's the gen on our new products:

BR72286 1:72 TU-22 Blinder Main and Nose Wheel Set
This set contains 8 main wheels and 2 nosewheels for the New Modelsvit Tu-22 Blinder kit. They are highly accurate and detailed, down to the delicate tire ribbing, tire tread and raised tire data. A simple and dramatic upgrade for the Blinder. Can be made to fit the old ESCI Blinder kit as well.

BR72286 1:72 TU-22 Blinder Exhaust and Afterburner Set
This set replaces the exhaust parts for the new Modelsvit Blinder kit with beautifully detailed exhaust tubes, and multi part afterburner nozzles. The detail on the nozzles is so fine it does not show well in the photos. There is not a lot of external detail on this kit, so these afterburners will become a focal point. A reasonably simple upgrade for a nice new kit of a stunning subject. Can be adapted to fit the ESCI kit as well.

BR48294 1:48 MiG-21 Radome Set
Designed for the superb Eduard MiG-21 series. The kit radome is accurate and well molded. The problem is that you have to paint and install it before you assemble the fuselage halves. Our separate radome and bulkhead allow you to assemble the fuselage without the radome, which is then installed when the model is almost finished. This will allow you to fill and sand the intake seams, and paint the intake and radome separately. You can also use the intake as a receptacle for a handle that will allow you to hold the model firmly while painting it. It also removes the possibility of damaging the radome point during assembly and painting. Quick and easy... problems solved!

BR32265 1:32 DH Mosquito FB. VI Ammo Feed Chutes $13.95
This set is a very visible and much needed upgrade to the otherwise stunning Mosquito from Tamiya. The kit feed chutes are molded as empty. This set contains ten parts that give you feed chutes complete with .303" and 20mm ammunition visible through the slots. The slots and ammo are undercut to give a very convincing look of shells inside a sheet metal track. The 20mm shells even have belt link detail molded on. Careful painting and a wash will make it really pop and give some teeth to your Mossie!

BR24295 1:24 Bf-109G-10 and BF109K-4 wheels $12.95
This set consists of a pair of super detailed, accurate resin mainwheels as fitted to some Bf 109G-10 and most K-4 series aircraft. These wheels represent the the wide, smooth tire fitted to the plain hub. Finely rendered raised sidewall fibbing and tire data are featured. Designed to replace the kit wheels, which are not very accurate and have vinyl tires, in the 1/24th Bf 109G-10 and K-4 kits from Trumpeter. Also replaces the mainwheels for the He-162, if and when someone releases one in this scale.
