The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free. The set is very straight forward and includes 3 resin pieces and one photo etch piece.  The photo etch piece will be hidden up in the nozzle on the face of the fan blade, which will give a shockingly impressive level of detail.  The instructions are easy to follow.  The exhaust can is the jewel in this set and contains very fine and complicated detail.  How they can do detail like this in 1/72 is beyond my understanding.

This is a beautifully done exhaust nozzle set and the burner can will look awesome when it is all painted up and properly shaded and installed on your next F-100. 

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.
