The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The detailing is quite good and once everything is installed and painted it will look quite sharp.  

The Tamiya Mosquito is a well known and highly respected kit and this cockpit set will permit you to take your Mosquito to a  higher level of detail.

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.
