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

There are 4 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Aires is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  You will be required to sometimes cut away detail on the kit parts to fit these parts.

The detailing on this gear bays is truly exceptional. and includes plenty of plumbing and other fine detailing.  With the addition of the gear doors and struts, this set will give your Gripen some first class detailing in this area. 

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 product sample.
