BarracudaCast is open for business!

Hi Guys. The last few months have been a really busy time here at Barracuda Studios. Yes, the blog has been pretty quiet, but it sometimes comes down to a choice between working on new stuff and talking about working on new stuff.

The result of all this work is a bonanza of new resin sets in 1/48th and 1/32nd scale. 14 new products in all; seven in 1/48th scale and seven in 1/32nd scale.

The 1/48th scale products are designed for the Grand Phoenix or AZ Models Fairey Firefly Mk I and the Trumpeter Hawker Sea Fury FB. 11:

BR48001 Firefly Mk. I Prop and Spinner

BR48002 Firefly Mk. I Cannon Barrels

BR48003 Firefly Mk. I Early Wheels

BR48004 Firefly Mk. I Late Wheels

BR48005 Firefly Mk. I Vacform Canopy

BR48006 Sea Fury Mainwheels and Tailwheel

BR48007 Sea Fury 90 Gallon Droptanks

The 1/32nd scale parts are designed for the spectacular Tamiya Spitfire Mk IX and their newly released Spitfire Mk VIII kits. These parts will also significantly upgrade the PCM Spitfire IX kits. Most of these parts can be used with the Mk I and V Spitfires in 1/32nd scale. they consist of:

BR32001 Spitfire Seat with Leather Backpad

BR32002 Spitfire Cockpit Door with Separate Crowbar

BR32003 Spitfire Cockpit Upgrade Set

BR32004 Spitfire IX Rocker Covers with Logos

BR32005 Spitfire 5-Slot Mainwheels

BR32006 Spitfire 4-Slot Mainwheels

BR32007 Spitfire Gun Covers with Wide Blister

Shipping on all products will begin on Tuesday. There is a bit of a backlog due to some delays in packaging and decals, but I hope to have everyone's order shipped by the end of the week.

Starting up a whole new product line is a big job, and there are often a number of logistical issues to be resolved, and this time was not much different. That's about all for tonight, but I have a whole number of new projects and products all coming together over the next few weeks and months, so you can count on a good number of blog entries , especially leading up to the IPMS/USA nationals in Phoenix next month.

I will post again in the next day or two with more new product announcements. Between now and August 8th, you can expect at least 8 new decal sheets. All will be available for sale (if all goes to plan) at the show.

Hope you are enjoying your summer.

Happy modelling! Roy
