The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  I was impressed by the fact there are tiny rivets inside the nosegear bay plus the tiny added details throughout these wheels bays.  You will need to remove the molded in main gearbays from the kits wings to install these resin wheelbays, but this is shown in the instructions that come with this set.  

This is a nicely done set and will be a big improvement over the kit wheelbays on the Hobbyboss MiG-17F Fresco C.

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.
