The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The level of detail inside the gear bays is highly involved and some of the gear doors have panel lines.  All of the gear doors have detail on the inside.

There are 2 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Aires is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  You will be required to sometimes cut away detail on the kit parts to fit these parts.

These wheel bays are loaded with very complicated detail that is a very good improvement over the kit parts.

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.
