Hmmmm. Refresh my memory..... What's a Baracuda? I've heard of the Airacuda, and the Airacobra, and the King Cobra, but not a Baracuda, unless you're talking MOPAR. Is it British?

Yes it is British! Fairey Baracuda. Somewhat ungainly carrier borne torpedo bomber. Looks like half the airframe was an afterthought!!!!

Oh, man, that's right. I remember it now. I hardly build British stuff, so I had completely forgotten about it. Sorry. I do have a Gloster Meteor and a Bristol Beaufighter (both Tamiya) in my stash, though.....
