First Look
Barracuda Studios produces a growing line of resin details under the BarracudaCast brand to compliment their BarracudaCals decal line. This release renders a nice pair of main gear wheels for the Eduard 1/48 series 1 Tempest in 1/48th scale. This set provides smooth tires on five-spoke hubs.
These wheels provide modestly weighted tires and as usual, the casting detail is sharp and free of air bubbles or other problems. For a look at these parts and other options from Barracuda Studios, stop by their website at barracudacals.com.
My sincere thanks to Barracuda Studios for this review sample!
