Fairey Barracuda, 1:48 Special Hobby...


Recommended Posts

This was a commission build for a client who creates amazing photo-composite work. You don't see many of these built, and I'm not surprised as it's a b***h of a kit in places! My client wanted a wheels-up configuration, which the kit does not include so I used a resin aftermarket undercarriage set and worked those into the configuration for raised undercarriage and re-scribed panel lines. A very challenging kit but satisfying results finally achieved! I was also required to build a torpedo and dolly (Flightpath set), a really nice little build!

Cracking builds, the Barracuda is a beauty!

 

So is the torpedo for that matter. What did you use for the steel effect? It's very realistic.

Hi Murdo, i uses a base of Alclad aluminium, then AK steel paste (amazing stuff), then finished with a coat of Tamiya Smoke.
