The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The sidewalls are loaded with rich
detail. The seat and sidewalls include rivet detail. The resin
control stick is beautifully crafted from the trigger button down to the leather
boot at the bottom of the control stick. The acetate panel has the gauges
all crisply printed.
All in all this is a beautifully
crafted cockpit set and it will be an excellent addition to the big 1/32
Hasegawa Bf 109F-2/F-4.
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 review sample.
