BarracudaStudios have just
released a batch of great add-ons for the Spit fans in 48th scale -
just in time for the NATS in Orlando Roy will be there himself to twist your
arm and sell ‘em to you! The 6 new products are now up on the website and ready
for pre-order for those of you who aren’t able to come and see him in person –
and we have all the links and pics...
These sets are designed for the soon to be re-released
1/48th scale Seafire 46/47 from Airfix. This kit may already be in your stash,
and most of these sets will also be a perfect match for the Airfix Spitfire
22/24 kit.
These sets will be available for sale at the IPMS Nationals
next week in Orlando. For those not attending, you can pre-order starting now,
but please be aware that orders will not begin shipping until Thursday, August
16th.
Seamless, detailed carburettor intake with separate filter
flap designed for Airfix Spitfire 22/24 and Seafire 46/47 kits. The kit intake
has a very prominent and hard to eliminate seam running all down the inside
surfaces. May be adapted to fit other Griffon Spitfire kits. Price: $5.95
BR48026 Griffon
Spitfire 5 Blade Prop- Late
This accurate, detailed cast resin 5 blade spinner and late

visible upgrade. May be adapted to fit other Griffon Spitfire kits. Price: $7.95
BR48024 Griffon
Spitfire Rocker Cover Fairings

shaped, detailed cast resin rocker cover fairings designed to correct the
