Hi all,
I’m looking for info from an expert on the Fairey Barracuda. I’m planning (for 2nd time) to try the Special Hobby 1/48 Barracuda with the wings folded. (First one had too many mistakes to live with!)
Naturally all photos are relatively poor quality but it appears to me that the pins which lock the wing to tailplane protrude through the top of the tailplane. (see these photo links)

Also in Matthew Willis book page 17, again not a clear picture but little points of some sort are visible.
However its not shown on plan drawings that way and I’ve not seen any other modeller do it. Am I confusing something or am I right?
A follow on question, is the pin painted with the top camouflage?
Thanks for any help available, Tony
