Jurek Greinert Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Everything is masked, the interior is painted, by the way checking connections. I made some small elements on the surface that I saw in the pictures. If anyone knows something I have forgotten let them speak now or stop forever. πππ Texts titled "and the window under the cabin is where it is" better to hear at the right timeπππ Edited April 22, 2020 by Jurek Greinert 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy54 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 A lot of detail in your build, I really like what you have done. My Dad was aboard HMS Glory towards the end of WWII and worked on the Barracudas of 837 Squadron, I keep saying that I should build one and your effort has inspired me.

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Wow!  As someone who has had this very kit sitting on the shelf of doom for at least 5 years, I am very impressed! You have achieved more than me in about a week!  Top stuff§ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobinsonh Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Great progress - love the somewhat awkward look of the Barracuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This is all just rather splendid, especially that work in the cockpit. I have a couple of these in 1/72 in the stash, which will get built at some point, but a build like this on an aircraft such as this, could surely tempt me to acquire one in 1/48. Β Am following now with much interest. Β Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurek Greinert Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I appreciate your opinions but I also have a question.Β What colors to paint individual elements of landing gears. (legs,Β horizontal supports,Β vertical locks between the wing and the chassis).Β Β Almost every photo suggests something different I still plan 5C - 829 SQ - Tungsten Operation For the sake of clarity I do not ask about external camo colors Edited April 24, 2020 by Jurek Greinert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
