The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free with excellent detail everywhere.  The 3 pages of instructions are well laid out and easy to follow.  

This is a very complete cockpit set and it would be a big improvement over the kit parts in your next MiG-17PF Fresco D from Hobby boss. 

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.
