The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  This cockpit set is loaded with fine detail.  The cockpit tub has plenty of detail including tiny raised rivets and the instrument panel and coaming looks fantastic.  Plus the ejection seat is packed with rich detail all over.....even the seat cushion is very convincingly replicated. 

I was surprised to see this high level of detail in 1/72 and I was impressed to see that this cockpit set included so many tiny details that when combined will give you a very detail rich cockpit in your F-22 Raptor.

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.
