The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The detailing on the cockpit tub is extensive
with every tiny switch beautifully reproduced. The photo etch
parts are very fine and wonderfully detailed. The instrument panels
and coaming are a delight to see and with the addition of the photo etch
parts...they will look spectacular. The seats have detail on all 4
sides and with the addition of the photo etch, these seats will be a
highly detailed focal point of the cockpit.
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 is a fantastic
cockpit set and it will be a terrific addition to the
F-16D Block 40 kit from Kinetic.
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.
