The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The resin parts are loaded with detail and the
photo etch parts are a fine compliment to further all an enhanced level of
detail to the cockpit set. The instructions are well laid out and easy to
follow.
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 an excellent
cockpit set and just the ideal thing for the Academy P-38 kit.
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.
