The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  This set will require surgery to fit the nosegear bay, but the added detail will be well worth the effort.

This is a great set with astounding detail and just the thing to improve the detail in the gear bays on the new Academy F-22 kit. 

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.
