This detail set from Aires features a complete resin and photo etch engine for the MiG-15bis from Eduard.  You will need to cut the rear part of the fuselage off your model to properly display this highly detailed motor.  The many resin parts give you layer upon layer of built-up detail.  The photo etch parts include the final fine detailing to this gorgeous engine.

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

There are 3 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Aires is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  You may be required to sometimes cut away detail on the kit parts to fit these parts.

Painting instructions aren't included, so you'll have to use reference photo when it comes time to paint this engine.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

This engine is quite exceptional in it's level of detail and is the perfect way to add a highly detailed engine to your 1/72 MiG-15bis.

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 product sample.
