This is a real beauty! The Barracuda is one of my favorite aircraft - not sure why, but I think it just portrays purpse of design in so many ways. My 1/72 Frog Barracuda is one of my favorite builds of all time. You did a fantastic job on this one.
I remember how difficult that kit is. You show stubbornness and persistence pays off.
That's a really nice looking model Josef (@joeross). I love the weathering and the paint work. Well done 🙂
That model looks really good, if anything to do with that weird duck can be good looking.
Your models and paint are very good, but watch your landing gear angles. This one is too straight down.
A lot of kits have sloppy fitting gear legs, you got to check references on most of these, before committing to glue.
Thank you for comment.It's my fault, I was glad I assembled the chassis at all. But that's no excuse.
That is a really nice Barracuda, Josef @joeross
You clearly managed to overcome the difficulties of this kit.
Well done.
Congratulations on building the challenging SH kit and coming up with an excellent result, Josef!
A great looking Barracuda.
Nice work!
Beautiful work on an otherwise ugly airplane!
Nicely finished. @joeross
Great job. The Barracuda is an airplane type I don't have hidden away in my stash. You did another outstanding job on this kit, beautiful paint work Josef.
