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..

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! 👍

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. 🙂

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. 👍

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

Another beautiful job, congrats!

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.... 🙂
