This latest release
from Aires
features a complete
resin wheel bay set for the F-5E Tiger II from AFV Club.
This is a straight
forward set. You get two main wheel bays and a nose gear bay. The
main wheel bays are loaded with delicate detail including rivets and hydraulic lines that will
look excellent once installed. The nose bay is quite narrow on the sleek
little F-5, so it is hard to see in there, but there is ribbing, rivets and
hydraulic lines as well. You also get two main gear bay door actuating
rods in resin with this set.

The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. There's 4 pages of instructions that
show you what to cut away the kit gear bays to make room for these resin wheel bays. The kit
has simplistic wheel bays that you remove (with a Dremel etc) and then glue
these beautifully detailed gear bays into place.
These are a very nice set of
wheel bays and they will look excellent once installed.
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.
I would like to
thank Aires for
providing me with this review sample.
