The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  Each of these 3 resin bays is loaded with fine detail including fine wire or hydraulic hoses that are molded to the interior of the 3 gear bays.

There are 2 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Aires is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  You will be required to sometimes cut away detail on the kit parts to fit these parts.

This detail set gives you some very well done detail for the wheel bays on the Trumpeter Supermarine Attacker. 

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 product sample.
