Tim Hatton [Litespeed] has revealed that XTRADECAL has released ten sets of markings in 1/72 for the Fairey Barracuda.

I suspect this set is aimed at Special Hobbys excellent recent release of the 1/72 Fairey Barracuda. RJ295 in overall HS silver looks interesting.

On the decal sheet there is an error in the description of one of the aircraft. The first one is said to be a Mk I ( PM953:371-A ) but is a Mk II version. I emailed David Hannant two months ago and was told that my inquiry was correct and the Mk I was indeed a Mk II and changes had been made to the instruction sheet. It is obvious with this review that the updated sheet has not been included in its release !
