The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. This cockpit set covers all the areas on
the Ar-196 that are just begging for some super detailing. Aires has
devoted plenty of time to adding detail to the areas that will really show very
well on your completed model. The instructions are well laid out and easy
to follow. Some PE parts in this set will be required to be glued to the
clear canopy, but fumes from CA glue will fog canopies, so coat your canopy in
future before you try to CA glue these parts to the canopy.
This set is very inclusive and
adds detail to many areas of the Ar-196 and is well worth picking up for super
detailing your next Ar-196. I'm quite impressed by this detail set.
You can purchase this and other
fine resin detail items directly from Aires
or from the many retailers that carry their products.
I would like to
thank Aires for
providing me with this review sample.
