The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  This is an easy set to use and includes 2 resin main  gear bays with 6 photo etch parts to add further detail.  You will need to grind away the gear bays from the kit wing parts before you install this resin set.  Detail on this set is well done and includes the canvas zipped covers on the inside of the gear bays.  You get two photo etch backing pates that will form the back of the gear bays.  And the remaining 4 photo etch parts will add further 3 dimensional detail to the photo etch backing plates.

This is a very well done wheel bay set and it will give you much better detail than you will get from the Hasegawa kit parts. 

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 review sample.
