Planet Models' 1/72 Fairey Barracuda TR Mk. V- Completed

If ever there was a well named airplane.....

Nice work, Jon.

Not a very pretty bird but you did a fine job on it.

Jon, that is a stunner my friend. Dont doubt its quality. Its most definately top drawer mate. Kudos on the canopy masking. I hope you had masks for the canopy. That could have been the death of me if i was building the monster.

Duke Maddog, jeaton01, Buckeye- Thanks so much, my friends!

Luftwoller- Thanks for the kind words. I actually masked that myself. I've found I like using Model Master tape. It's a vinyl feeling tape, almost like masks are made from. And though it takes longer, I cut off single pieces of tape, and work one frame at a time. And this one had 35 or so frames.... So it was an exercise in patience. But since I've been doing it this way, I've been happy with the results. I actually set aside one Saturday morning just for that. I told myself that would be all I'd do, and I just took my time.

Great looking Build Jon .  Thanks for sharing.

Regards,  Rick

Great looking build, even if it's not a great looking beastie!

Jwb........Im going to go against the trend here, i think the barracuda is a mean looking thing....it looks almost "stuka ish" from some perspective's....only the british could build something like that.

I will however follow the trend, and say that what you have done looks great.....along with the others on this site...your an artist

Cheers

Is there a 48th scale kit?

There sure is- Special Hobby makes one! DrewH built it recently and wrote a build report about it.

mucker- Thanks so much! 

That's a great piece of work.

Cheers,

razordws- Thanks so much! The fading is actually oil washes, sort of a dot filter dealie, only much wetter in the application of turpenoid.

Brews- Thanks so much!
