Here is my version of Special Hobby's Barracuda. The wing fold is entirely scratch built. I used the fuel tanks from Tamiya's Swordfish "clear" edition. This model is not fun to build because it has many design error concerning sub-assemblies, in particular the cockpit and wing root area. In addition, surface detail is lacking and the thick plastic affects the outlines of the control surfaces. However, it is the only game in town for a hefty price and my heart goes to those who feel compelled to buy the kit in order to complete their FAA fleet collection.
