The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The instructions are well laid out with parts
numbers and various line drawings. The bullets are beautifully cast and I would
think the real challenge is going to be painting the bullets and gun bay.
Some of the belts are cast separately to make painting easier. By using a
combination of careful painting with drybrushing and washes should give you very
good results.
The Corsair was a lethal fighter
with it's 6 machine guns and these detail rich gun bays are sure to give you the
wonderful detail in this area that you crave for your big 1/32 Corsair.
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.
