The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The control stick was broken off, but the
part was in the packaging indicating it was broken during shipping and this part
would take only a second to re-attach, so it was no big deal to me.
This is a beautifully detailed
cockpit set and with some careful painting and weathering you will have a
stunning cockpit in your F-16. This resin cockpit set is a vast
improvement over the Tamiya cockpit that comes in this Tamiya kit.
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.
