The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. You will be required to grind away some of the
fuselage interior detail on the Hobby boss kit parts to make this cockpit set
fit, but that is pretty standard stuff when fitting a resin cockpit.
This multi-media cockpit set is
very well thought out and I do like the multiply smaller resin and photo etch
parts that are included to give the finished cockpit a delicate very highly
detailed final appearance.
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.
