The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The Spitfire has plenty of detail on the
sidewalls that responds beautifully to painting, shading and washes. One
nice feature is the door on the left side wall is a separate resin piece
permitting you to pose the door in the open position to show off all the gorgeous
detail in the cockpit. And yes, the resin door does include the breaker
bar.
The Spitfire has a beautiful
cockpit full of detail and with the door and canopy open you can see plenty of
that detail. This cockpit set is rich and detail and will be a lovely
addition to your next 1/48 Academy Spitfire Mk.XIVc.
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.
