The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The parts are richly detailed and include all
the tiny details you expect to see on the full sized plane. The ejection
seat is detailed on all 4 sides and with the photo etch seatbelts installed it
will look quite impressive. The cockpit side panels are beautifully
detailed. The detail behind the pilots headrest is exceptional. One
interesting feature is the instrument panel is made from clear resin and has
clear "glass" for the instrument faces. There is still the usual
printed/painted clear acetate panel for the instruments to put behind the clear
resin instrument panel.
This is a
beautifully done cockpit set that will do wonder for dressing up the cockpit in
the big Trumpeter
A-4E/F Skyhawk.
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 product sample.
