incredibly, someone has made a fairey baracuda....it's a tad big, around 1/17. For those not familiar with the plane it was used by the royal navy from about '43 onward as a replacement for the swordfish. Took part in huge attack against tirpitz, used lots for anti submarine warfare. Also commonly used as a dive bomber. Overall a very good plane.

This is the first i've seen of it and have no further info or pics.

The price is certainly right.

overall not bad.....canopy doesnt have the little hitch at the front where the pilot sits and no trailing flaps on the wings. Flaps would be a fairly easy fix but the canopy is a no solution problem.
