The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The ejection seats have detail on all
sides. The cockpit tub is loaded with raised detail that will respond well
to painting. the instrument panels are a combination of raised resin
detail and flat surfaces for attaching the acetate and photo etch instrument
panels.
This is a neat set and the
amount of detail it contains is quite amazing....especially for 1/72 .
This cockpit set is a massive improvement over the Hasegawa cockpit.
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.
