Barracuda Crew Members - Standing
1:72 CMK
I have to confess that this set of crew members for Special Hobby's rather excellent Fairey Barracuda dropped onto my door mat some time ago. For some reason they were put to one side and subsequently forgotten about. Thanks to Mike and his accursed spreadsheet, however, I have been prodded into bringing you this review As per the title, the set includes three crew members, all in the standing position. This means you just need a section of flight deck and you have an interesting diorama in which to display your model. The figures are well detailed and nicely cast. Two of the crew members are cast in one piece, while the third has seperately cast hands.
Conclusion
These figures make an excellent addition to Special Hobby's very own Barracuda. I dare say they could be adapted for use with a number of other WWII-era Royal Navy kites too. Detail and quality of manufacturer are both good. Highly recommended.
