The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The level of detail is extremely good.  

This cockpit set is a beauty and is a model kit all in it's own right.   Using this set will certainly dress up the cockpit of your next 1/32 Kawasaki Ki61-I from Hasegawa, 

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.
