Made a start on this Special Hobby kit which has no resin or PE. The aircraft is deceptively big and has a lot of parts. Internals currently being put together/painted. 🙂

Welcome Carlo, pull up a seat! 👍

Thanks mates for your interest and likes Sukhoi242, Franck D & Andrew B. 👍

Good job so far, Guy. I am waiting on a painting mask before I finish painting my Barracuda! Way too many panels to mask by hand..

Guy Rump
Internal cockpit and rear areas now in ready for the fuselage to be glued together. 🙂

Thanks for your kind comment Gordon. I agree with you, masking is definitely required for this plane! 👍

Fuselage now together. Next will be the wings to put together. 🙂

Wings are now together. After quite a lot of sanding, I managed to fit in the holder for bombs/torpedo. Next will be to fit the final 2 side windows and then attach the wings. 🙂

Guy Rump
Wings and tailplane attached to fuselage. In the end I used superglue to attach them as the attachment parts are sparse to say the least. A fair amount of filler used but still needs to be sanded down. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Dave F. 👍

Guy Rump
Canopy masked and fitted. 🙂 Next will be primer and pre-shading. 🙂

Guy Rump

I declare this Fairey Barracuda completed. The aircraft denoted was with 810 NAS attached to HMS Illustrious in 1944. 🙂

Ver ynice result, Guy! Congratulations! 👌 How was the build?

Andy Ball
A Fairy Baccaruda (I can't say Barracuda)...as the song goes...
excellent result again Guy!!

Pietro De Angelis
Another beautiful job, congrats!

Guy Rump
Very many thanks for your kind comments Bernd, Andy & Pietro. 👍

@Bernd: the build is ok apart from the wings which are a bit of a pain to attach. Also no direction pins and some of the transparencies I had to use transparent glue to simulate transparencies.

@Andy, I don't think Barracuda would work with this song.... 🙂
