The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

This is a very inclusive set covering many versions of the Mirage V thanks to the 2 ejection seats and 3 different instrument panels.  The detailing is quite good and the photo etch adds a wonderful added layer of detailing. 

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from SBS Model or from the many retailers that carry their products.
