The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  

There are 2 pages of instructions in the usual line drawing format that Aires is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  You will be required to sometimes cut away part of the model kit parts to fit these parts.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

This resin cockpit set includes all the detail to add exceptional detail to the F-15C Eagle from Hasegawa.  

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.
