Early 2018 resin set releases – multiple subjects and scales : Barracuda Studios

January 10, 2018 By Francis Porter

Review by Geoff Coughlin (January 2018)


A note from Geoff…
We have just received this information from Roy S at Barracuda Studios and he has released a variety of new resin sets to compliment his already large range of high quality resin accessories. We’ve used BS sets in a number of projects in SMN and no doubt we’ll buy some of those on offer here as the months progress.

All BS resin items are well researched and moulded so you get detailed, high quality items that are invariably just a simple straightforward replacement for the kit parts.

This is what Roy at BS says about these new releases…


Barracuda Studios is proud to announce the release of 10 new resin sets in 1:32nd, 1:48th and 1:72nd scale.

All sets are in stock and available for sale now on the Barracuda Studios website.

The new 1:32 Revell Spitfire Mk IX gets some needed attention. Its a nice kit; not as good as the gorgeous (and very expensive) Tamiya Spit IX kit, but at almost 1/5th the price, it’s a great choice if you want to build more than one! Our quick and simple to install cockpit upgrade sets will really transform the very visible cockpit. The two 32nd Spitfire wheels sets were released a few months back, but are worth reminding you about, as they a real improvement over the kit wheels.

Here’s the scoop on the new sets!

BR48355 1:48 scale FW 190A-1 through A-9, F, G Exhausts
This kit contains two complete sets of deeply drilled out, thin walled engine exhaust stubs. Including starboard, port and undercowl exhaust stub banks. Designed for the new tool (2017) Eduard Fw 190 kits, but may be adapted for other 1/48 Fw 190 kits. Master patterns by Roy Sutherland.

BR32336 1:32 scale Spitfire Mk IX Seat w Backpad & Armor
This set contains an accurate standard Tufnol composite Spitfire seat with detailed leather backpad and armor plate (missing from the kit) to replace the inaccurate seat in Revell’s Mk IX kit. Master patterns by Roy Sutherland.

BR32338 1:32 scale Spitfire Mk IX Cockpit Door w Crowbar
This set contains a super detailed, accurate Spitfire cockpit access door with a separately molded crowbar for easy painting. Designed for Revell’s Mk IX, but can be easily adapted to other Spitfires (Mk V through Mk 24) and Seafires as well. Master patterns by Roy Sutherland.

BR32339 1:32 scale Spitfire Mk IX Cockpit Snapshot Upgrade
This set features detailed port and starboard sidewalls, throttle and retract quadrants, stick, gunsight, compass, canopy latch, a sheet of decal cockpit stencils, a length of black wire to simulate the hydraulic lines on the stick and more. A quick and easy way to add a ton of detail to the cockpit in Revell’s new tool Spitfire Mk IX. Can be modified to fit other Spitfire kits. Master patterns by Roy Sutherland.

BR32335 1:32 scale Spitfire Four Slot Mainwheels
This set contains a pair of detailed 4 slot mainwheels with accurate hub detail,
subtle tire beading & data. The tyre is smooth; by far the most common tire seen on Spitfires. For Mk VII thru 21 Spitfires operation from grass or dirt runways. Also fitted to some Seafire kits. These wheels are designed to fit the brand new Revell Mk IX kit, but can also be fit to the Tamiya Spitfire VIII, IX and XVI. Wheels are 24″ diameter (actual diameter .75″ or 19mm). Master patterns by Mike O’Hare.

BR32319 1:32 scale Spitfire Four Slot Block Tread Mainwheels
This set contains a pair of detailed 4 slot mainwheels with accurate hub detail,
subtle tire beading & data. The tyre is block tread style (not Z-Block style). Fitted to postwar Mk VII thru 21 Spitfires operating from improved runways and carrier decks. Also installed on some Seafire XV, XVII, 45 and 46. These wheels are designed to fit the superb Tamiya Spitfire VIII, IX and XVI, but include axle adapter inserts so they can be fit to all other kits. Wheels are 24″ diameter (actual diameter .75″ or 19mm). Master Patterns by Mike O’Hare.

BR32329 1:32 scale P-40B/C Main Wheels with Smooth Tire
This set consists of two super detailed resin main wheels with accurate hub and brake detail, petite tire logo and data detail, as fitted to the P-36, Hawk 81A. P-40B/C and RAF Tomahawk. A simple upgrade for the Trumpeter P-40B kits, replacing the vinyl/plastic wheels in the kit. Master patterns by Gerry Mos.

BR72341 1:72 scale Spitfire Four Slot Mainwheels – 3 Pack
For the modeler who can’t get enough of building Spitfires in 72nd scale, this set contains three pairs of 4 slot Spitfire smooth tire mainwheels with accurate hub detail, subtle tire beading and data. For Mk VII thru 21 Spitfires and some Seafires. designed for the Eduard Mk IX kits, but contains axle adapters to allow fitting to all kits. Master patterns by Gerry Mos.

BR72342 1:72 scale Spitfire Late Cockpit Entry Door
This set consists of two detailed and accurate cockpit doors with separately molded crowbars for Spitfire Mk V thru 24 and all Seafires. Perfect for all Spitfire kits, regardless of brand.

We have started off the new year with a bang, and this will be a busy year for Barracuda Studios, with many more new releases coming over the next few months.

Wishing you all the best in 2018, and happy modelling! Roy
