The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The detail is very involved as you can see in the photos.  You will be required to do some cutting of the kit fuselage, but that is to be expected when fitting parts like this.  the plumbing detail is truly impressive and very delicate looking.

The 4 pages of instructions covers the installation, which is pretty straight forward.

This is an amazingly detail set and will add vast amounts of detail to the Trumpeter 1/32 MiG-23 Flogger. 

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.
