The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The detail on the cockpit tub is very rich
as you can see in the photo below. The hoses on the side consoles as well
as the piping behind the head rest area is very well done. All the endless
switches on the side consoles are very finely crafted. The seat has detail
on all sides including the back. You
will be required to fold the photos etch in this set, but if you have one of the
Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The
Small Shop then this will be an easy process.
This is a
wonderfully done cockpit set and it would be a fine addition to the 1/48 F-16C Barak block 40 from Kinetic.
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.
