The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free and the detail as you can see in the photos is rich and well defined.  This set covers all the important areas on the kit.  There are 2 pages of instructions containing line drawings explaining the complete process to adding this set to your Mirage IIIC.    

SBS Model did a very nice job on this set and I do like the way they included wheels wells with the cockpit set.   

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from SBS Model or from the many retailers that carry their products.
