Product Article by Steve Bamford on Dec 15 2011

 

This latest release from Aires features a complete set of resin exhaust nozzles for the F-22A Raptor from Academy. 

These are designed to fit the Academy F-22 Raptor kit and will permit you to add detail to this critical area of the F-22.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  All the resin parts are very well done but it is the photo etch fret will further enhance the detail level.  The texture on the 4 arrowhead shaped parts above is like nothing I've ever seen.  I've tried to capture it in close-up the photo above.

This set is a definite must if you are building the beautiful Raptor from Academy and you want to show off those high tech vectored exhaust nozzles. 

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.
