The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The instructions are easy to follow and well laid out.

This is a truly detail rich cockpit set and the fact it is 1/72 scale just leaves me very impressed......it is simply beautiful. 

You can purchase this and other fine resin detail items directly from Aires or from the many retailers that carry their products.  A list of some of those retailers can be found here.
