The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The main gear bays on the F-100 are sort of a 2 part deal.  There is the bays under the wings that hold the landing gear strut and the other part of the gear bay that forms the under belly of the fuselage that holds the main wheels and tires.  This set contains both parts for the main gear bays

The Super Sabre is a cool jet and this set will permit you to add some stunning detail to the gear bays on your next F-100C/D.  

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.
