The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The cockpit is loaded with very delicate detail.  The instructions are straight forward and easy to follow.

I'm impressed with the level of detail contained in this 1/72 cockpit set.  This will be  a big improvement over the Hobby boss kit supplied cockpit.

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.
