The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  There are 5 resin pieces and one photo etch part for each complete exhaust.  You simply cut the resin parts from the casting blocks and assemble them with the photo etch part and install them in your jet.  Painting each individual part before assembly would probably yield much better results.

The big F-14B/D Tomcat  from Tamiya could use some help in this area, so these detailed resin exhausts are a welcome sight for anyone planning on building the big Tomcat. 

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.
