The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The detail level on this cockpit set is very inclusive and will be stunning when installed and painted.  

Aires did an excellent job on the detailing on this cockpit set.  It is a pleasant improvement over the kit parts and once you get this cockpit paint and installed it will bring life to your F-84. 

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.
