  • Photo Etch panels for the instrument panel

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  

You can purchase these 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.    

There is nothing as sweet as a resin cockpit for dressing up a model.  If you're building the 1/48 Hasegawa F-15C Eagle (early v.) then I strongly suggest you consider taking it to a higher level by using this cockpit set.  You will be impressed by the level of detail.

I would like to thank Aires for providing me with this review sample.
