The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The level of fine detail is truly impressive. 

Resin cockpit sets like this one really add that critical level of detail many modellers crave.  I'm quite impressed with the number of resin and photo etch items included in this set. 

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.
