Click plan above or pic below to vote your preferences in our online poll.


Can someone confirm or not, the statement below is correct?

Fairey Barracuda T.R. Mk III
Fairey Firefly Mk I
Fairey Firefly AS.6
Fairey Fulmar

After gathering a large photo doc of the Fairey Barracuda Mks without finding airframe line art to document differences except trainer versions, it appears all Mks
are different only in mission specific external hardware and or engine related intake/exhaust.

Jack Lynn 
Bale produced only one Fairey fighter planset but apparently sold it under multiple Mks. It was common for Jack to suppliment external vacuum formed
detail parts for Mk differences but the Firefly is a low wing while the Barracuda is a midwing design. I intend to create vacuum formed and resin 
external detailed
components in support of every Mk.

I would appreciate someone familiar with the Fairey family would help with this.

Sam has begun a material dim review of each plan/kit with high probability of initial roll-out. So far we have seen excellent 
choices made in every poll voter's selections. Poll votes represent a broad range of cilvilian, utility, and military designs.

Soon, we will publish a second poll focused on dims proposed for the fifteen (15) highest poll results. Dims shown in the poll
will be original and proposed enlarged plan wingspan choices. This is "not to say" these plans and kits are all we offer for 
sale. When the MAC website is launched we will provide a complete listing of Jack Lynn Bale's plans we will laser cut as 
originally drawn by Jack.

Yet to-be-determined enlargements of the top 15 highest poll vote designs will be available as quickly as possible. Several are
currently in various stages of enlargement/reengineering. Your preference/choice of enlargement can be voted on within
MAC's new poll.

In addition, MAC can be contracted to enlarge and laser cut Jack Lynn Bale's designs to customer specification beyond those
of standard enlargements.

ED,
The plan and 3 view above is of a Fairy Barracuda.

The photo is of the Fairy Fulmar.

Kuhn, 

Jack listed the Firefly plan in his catalog. I have yet to find that plan. It was not in the group Jack's daughter sent to me.

Just 30 minuets ago I watched a Archaeology program on TV that featured the re-build going on of a Baracuda at RNAS Yeovilton. (where the flying Swordfish (2) are kept.

Wikipedia has the story

 Sorry, no idea Ed.
As there is no existing subject in a museum I have no way of knowing.  So your scanner would not help.

I would guess that the Yeovilton rebuild project might be ten years and then there will be gaps.

It looks like it would make good model if the retract could be made. That may not be as complicated as at first glance.

At this point I am going to put the Fairley Barracuda on a back burner because its poll results were beyond 20th on our list.
We have well over 275 poll vote results to provide the basis for the wingspan poll. That will probably appear the first of next
week.

I am knee deep in reverse engineering portions of the U2S/RS to create molds for fiberglass from resin printed parts. The
U2 A/B is our first plan/kit offering laser cut from Jack Lynn Bales original plan. Thanks to everyone assisting on the 
Barracuda documentation.
