The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The MiG-3 had a complicated cockpit with it's
side walls and interior cockpit tube framing. The cockpit tube frames
reminds me of earlier aircraft designs. One of the tube frames even has a
tiny pistol for the pilot to use if he is shot down.
This is a
beautifully engineered cockpit set and I do think it will look stunning once
installed.......it really captures the complicated cockpit very well.
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 review sample.
