The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The level of detail will leave you deeply impressed.  There are 2 pages of black and white drawing instruction sheets.  The instructions are easy to follow. 

As you can see in the photos, the detail in this set is mind blowing.  If you're building the big F-8 Crusader from Trumpeter, then you owe it to yourself to seriously consider using this resin gear bat set.  You will not be disappointed by the level of detail in this set.

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.
