The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  As you can see in the photos the detail is very full and rich.  

The Sea Fury is a popular fighter with modellers and this cockpit set is a big improvement over the regular Trumpeter kit parts. 

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.
