The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The seat padding is quite effective and realistic looking.  The Photo Etch parts include little knob/handles for the instrument panel.  

The 3 pages of instructions are well laid out and easy to follow.

The Ta 152H-1 is a good looking aircraft with it's sleek lines and large variety of paint and camo schemes and this resin/photo etch cockpit set is just what you need to put the crowning touch on your next Ta 152H-1 from Italeri.

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.
