The Fairy Barracuda was a British carrier bourne dive and torpedo bomber used by the Fleet Air Arm during World War II.  It was fabricated entirely from metal and was introduced to the Fleet Air Arm as a replacement for the Fairey Albacore and Swordfish biplanes.  It entered service in 1943 and participated in the attack on the German battleship Tirpitz.  Various variants of this type continued in Fleet Air Arm service until the mid 1950s at which point it was largely replaced by the Grumman Avenger.  This older, out-of-production model from the 1960s of the Fairey Barracuda is an all plastic, easy assembly kit that includes instructions and authentic markings.  The model box is in very good condition.  Never started and 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions inventoried.
