The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. There was a control stick that broke
off during shipping, but the broken part was found in the box and a spare
control stick is also included as one of the resin parts (resin part #7).
So although it would be nice if it didn't break.....life is seldom perfect and a
quick application of CA glue will get this problem sorted, so I see this broke
control stick as a non-issue.
This is an excellent
detail set and well worth using on the 1/72 Hasegawa F-4E.
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.
