Seafire 46/47 & Spitfire Mk.22/24
Resin Upgrades for Airfix
PREVIEW

Barracuda Studios, 1/48 scale

HyperScale is proudly supported by Squadron.com

Roy Sutherland has sent the following information and images on the latest releases in his range of accessories, available right now:

Barracuda Studios is proud to announce the release of 6 new 1/48th scale products in the BarracudaCast resin detail set line. These sets are now up on the website and available for order.

These six new sets are designed to upgrade the 1/48th Airfix Seafire 47 kit that has just been re-released. The Spitfire 22/24 and Seafire 46/47 kits were first released in the late 1990s, and set new standards for Airfix. With its superb outline accuracy and state of the art Tamiya quality scribed panel lines and surface detail, they are still state of the art releases today. They are the most accurate Spitfires yet in 1/48th scale. Why the upgrade sets then? Because these Spitfires are worth it! The only weak part of the kit is the poor prop blades for both the 5 blade and 6 blade contraprop assemblies. The rest of the sets add detail or improve on what can be done in injection plastic with high quality resin parts.

See links below:

BR48024 1/48 Griffon Spitfire Rocker Cover Fairings

New accurately shaped, detailed cast resin rocker cover fairings designed to correct the Airfix’s Spitfire 22/Seafire 47 kit parts. Will also improve most other Griffon Spitfire kits. A quick and simple correction.

BR48025 1/48 Mk. 22/24 Carburetor Intake

Seamless, detailed carburetor intake with separate filter flap designed for Airfix Spitfire 22/24 and Seafire 46/47 kits. The kit intake has a very prominent and hard to eliminate seam running all down the inside surfaces. May be adapted to fit other Griffon Spitfire kits.

BR48026 1/48 Griffon 5 Blade Prop - Late

This accurate, detailed cast resin 5 blade spinner and late style 11’ diameter prop greatly improve the Airfix Spitfire 22/24 and Seafire 46/47 kits. The kit blades have too much twist and are oddly shaped. A highly visible upgrade. May be adapted to fit other Griffon Spitfire kits.

BR48047 1/48 Seafire FR. 47 Contra Prop Blades

Accurate resin contra-rotating prop blades to replace the poorly shaped kit blades in the otherwise beautiful Airfix Seafire FR. 46/47 kit. These were also fitted to some Spitfire Mk. 21s. The most important upgrade you can do to improve your contraprop Spitfire.
