The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free. The set is very straight forward and includes 6 resin pieces and two photo etch piece.  The photo etch pieces will be hidden up in the nozzles on the face of the fan blade, which will give a shockingly impressive level of detail.  The instructions are easy to follow.  The exhaust cans are very well detailed inside and out.  

This multi-media F-14 exhaust detail set offers a very noticeable improvement over the detail of the Hasegawa kit parts.  If you're building the Hasegawa F-14 and you want to improve this area of your model, then this the set is worth buying.  

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.
