 product # 2073 for Trumpeter kit

Review by Steve Bamford on July 1 2009

 

This latest release from Aires features a complete resin F8F-1 Bearcat wheel bay set for the Trumpeter kit.  

This detail set includes all you need to really dress up this critical area of the big 1/32 Bearcat from Trumpeter.  You do combine these resin parts with the kits parts to complete the wheel bays.  All the detail is very rich and very well done.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  

There are a few critical areas on a model that really show well when given extra detail and in 1/32 these areas show even more.  This wheel bay set will definitely improve this are on the big Bearcat from Trumpeter.

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.
