The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The cockpit tub is packed with wonderful fine
detailing on the side consoles as well as the somewhat hard to photograph side
panels. There is even wiring and tiny raised rivets on the area behind the
pilot's headrest. The ejection seat is loaded with detail on all sides and
the photo etch fret even includes very fine ejection seat handles.
I absolutely love the detail in
this set and I'm stunned by the amount of detail and careful thought that went
into this cockpit set. If your Building the Hobbyboss A-7E Corsair II,
then this cockpit set is well worth using.
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.
