The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  These parts are designed to be added to the Trumpeter canopy, but remember CA glue fumes will fog canopies, so coat your canopy in Future to protect it from permanently fogging from the CA glue fumes.  The parts include all the canopy frame parts in resin and additional photo etch parts that include canopy mirrors that you add to the resin parts to complete the detailing job.  I'm impressed with the quality of this set and the high level of detail on all the parts.

This is an excellent set to add to the big Trumpeter MiG-23 Flogger as it will add plenty of detail to the interior of the canopy that will look excellent with the canopy in the open position. 

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.
