The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. This really is quite the involved set with
a huge selection of tiny parts to add that fine high level of detail that looks
so excellent in 1/32 scale.
The 4 pages of instructions are easy
to follow and are in the usual line drawing format that Aires is famous for.
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 an amazing
cockpit set and this would be a quite nice improvement in detail over the
cockpit that comes in the Trumpeter kit.
You can purchase this and other
fine resin detail items directly from Aires
or from the many retailers that carry their products.
I would like to
thank Aires for
providing me with this review sample.
