The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  It is absolutely amazing the level of detail Aires is able to achieve in this detail set.  The detail in the nose gear bay (see large photo below) is truly impressive.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.    They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

This is a fantastic set and will be a great way to add a very high level of detail to the wheel bays on your 1/48 F3H-2 Demon. 

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.
