The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  All the critical cockpit areas that will show on a  finished model are covered very well in this cockpit set.

This is a very well done set with simple to follow instructions and it will be a big improvement over the standard kit cockpit. 

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.
