The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The detail is wonderfully done and the number of parts.....especially the photo etch parts guarantees this set will give you a cockpit full of tiny 3D details.

This is a neat little cockpit set and I am impressed by the level of effort put into this set to make sure the modeler gets a very high level of detail.  

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from SBS Model or from the many retailers that carry their products.  

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