Review by Steve Bamford on June 10 2009

This latest release from Aires features a complete resin main wheel bay set for the Hawker Typhoon from Hasegawa.  

This wheel bay set includes 2 main wheel bays with plenty of tiny bits to detail up the wheel bays.  You also get landing gear doors full of rich rivet detail on both sides of the doors.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  You get 2 pages of instructions......which are pretty straight forward to follow. 

You can purchase these 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.    

Buying this resin wheel bay set is definitely the way to go.......to try to scratchbuild this level of detail would be very time consuming task.  The Typhoon has big wheel bays, so these will show off well on your finished model.

I would like to thank Aires for providing me with this review sample.
