This latest release from Aires features a set of resin exhaust nozzles - opened for the F/A-18C from Academy.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  One feature I liked seeing was the photo etch piece that fits over the fan blade resin part.  There is very well done and fine detail on the inside surfaces of the long cylindrical part.  The exhaust cans have detail everywhere on the inside, outside and on the end.  

The 2 pages of instructions are easy to follow.  Installing this set will be straight forward once you remove the parts from the casting blocks.

I am pleased to see Aires offering detail parts like this in 1/72. 

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.

I would like to thank Aires for providing me with this review sample.
