What an amazing set of Barracudas, Santiago @diamant01
Each of them looks perfectly.
Must have taken your dad quite some time to get them completed.
Hi John, thank you very much for your comments. This is just one of our series.

Amazing builds, looking forward on the P-40 build.
Thank you very much Bob.
We are about to start with the P40. It would take several months to complete it.
Cheers

18 Barracuda models qualifies as a large collection in my book! Very nicely done. Are these Special Hobby or Frog kits?
Hi John,
Thank you very much. Well, to be honest it is not our largest series. We have many others largest series.
Many of them are Frog kits an just a few Special Hobby.
Cheers
