1/72 F/A-18C exhaust nozzles - closed

 product # 7214 for Academy kit

Review by Steve Bamford on July 24 2009

 

This latest release from Aires features a set of resin F/A-18C exhaust nozzles in the closed position.  These are designed for the Academy kit.

Installation is pretty straight forward and is laid out in the instructions.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  A nice touch is the photo etch pieces to add that critical interior detail and the delicate detail on the feathers on the exhaust cans themselves.

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.    

I'm quite impressed by the level of detail in this 1/72 set of Hornet Exahusts.....these are very nicely done and a very big improvement over the kit parts.

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