The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The detail level everywhere on this cockpit
set is extremely well done. This sidewalls are loaded with tiny details
that are very complicated and exceptional. The ejection seats has detail
on all sides and it is a shame to actually hide all the detail by installing the
seat in the cockpit. The cockpit tub has rich detail.
The 5 pages of line drawings
instruction take you through the assembly process with little effort.
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 cockpit has so
much rich detail that will do wonders dressing up this area of your MiG.
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.
