This is my first
contribution to this fine web site. I've enjoyed popping in to view all the
models shown on this site on a regular basis. Since I am on holidays today,
I thought I would attempt to submit a model I recently finished. I just got back
into this hobby after many, many years, so I hope this model measures up to the excellent
quality models shown on this site. The Barracuda has always been one of my
favorite airplanes, just because it's so awkward looking. This Special Hobby Kit was
my first multi media kit. The quality of the resin and etched parts is
superb with absolutely no bubbles in the crisply molded resin parts.

With a little
attention to detail, the fit of this kit was excellent and required
very little filler. Some of the panel lines are a little light, so I
spent several hours rescribing these lines and adding zuse connectors,
especially around the engine cowl and control surfaces etc. All paint used
was Humbrol. The weathering was done with oil wash and a little
pastel.
