http://barracudacals.blogspot.com/2013/04/eduards-new-spitfire-mk-ix-in-148th.html
Sunday, April 7, 2013. Eduard's New Spitfire Mk. IXc in 1/48th scale. Yes, once again its been quite a long silence here on the blog. I am trying to rectify this and am planning at least a once a week update. There is just SO much other stuff to do! Of work to get a single product from concept to in stock status! And despite my lamentations, there is still only 24 hours in a day! Now, on to the subject at hand. The one comment I've heard, and seems to be backed up by photos, is that the roundels on the k...

Roys Rants: Barracuda Studios arrives in one piece!
http://barracudacals.blogspot.com/2012/11/barracuda-studios-arrives-on-one-piece.html
Friday, November 9, 2012. Barracuda Studios arrives in one piece! With one important caveat. I am at Birmingham airport, waiting for my friends Robin and Linda to pick me up. Flights were fine. BUT! One of my bags did not arrive. You have two guesses what the missing bag contains, and the first guess doesn't count. Not sure when it went astray, but the Airline is saying that hopefully I will have it before the end of the day. Possibly tomorrow morning. That's all for now. More news as it happens! How to ...

Roys Rants: Important news regarding 1/32 P-51 Cockpit sidewall set
http://barracudacals.blogspot.com/2012/05/important-news-regarding-132-p-51.html
Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Important news regarding 1/32 P-51 Cockpit sidewall set. BR32012 P-51 Mustang Cockpit Sidewall set. It has come to my attention in the last few days that the installation instructions for the above mentioned BarracudaCast set are missing an important assembly note. The above image shows the extent of the modification to the kit floor. The rest of the installation then follows the installation instructions for the Barracuda sidewalls and then back to Tamiya's kit instructions.

Roys Rants: Kicking Back and Relaxing for a Few Days
http://barracudacals.blogspot.com/2012/11/kicking-back-and-relaxing-for-few-days.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Kicking Back and Relaxing for a Few Days. The weeks leading up to a big show can be extremely stressful, involving long days and little sleep in preparation for the event. Telford is the biggest show of the year, and the biggest pain to get ready for, as I have to pack up half my business and take it with me. Makes for some ponderous travel. Disaster was averted somehow, as the incident failed to rip a hole in the fabric of the space/time continuum. I promise to post some pics...

http://barracudacals.blogspot.com/2012/11/post-show-post-mortem.html
Monday, November 12, 2012. Post Show Post Mortem. Another quick blog to catch you up on whats been going on with the man from BS. I am in the hotel lobby fighting with this funny UK keyboard. Some of the keys are in different positions, and I keep mistyping caps like this: telford. Arrrgh. :-). My product showed up finally, and we started setting up at 1PM on Saturday. It was crazy for about 2 solid hours as modelers were grabbing product as we were pulling it out of the boxes! Posted by ROY SUTHERLAND.
