The quality of the resin casting is flawless and the level of detail is excellent, especially when you consider the fact that this is 1/72.  

The 1/72 Hasegawa kit is in desperate need of a proper resin/photo etch cockpit set for the F-14D and now you have the cockpit set you've been waiting for to dress up your next F-14D.   You will be impressed with the level of detail in this cockpit set.

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.
