The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The raised detail really is a treat to see. The sidewalls have stringers that have quite a bit of realistic depth.  The sidewall panels are very thin.     

This is a very nicely done cockpit set.  I love\ the attention to all the tiny 3D details that this cockpit set addresses.  This will definitely be a huge improvement over the kit detail and I know you will enjoy the finished results.

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