The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The instrument panel and coaming are a work of
art loaded with tiny detail. Once the photos etch HUD is add to this area
it will be a gem. The seat is full of detail and the cockpit tub captures
all the tiny details of the real jet in crisp detail. The ejection seats
is beautifully renders with detail in every area and with the addition of all
the added photo etch parts.....the seat will be a stand-alone kit all by
itself.
I am deeply impressed with the
lovely detail this set offers and I know you will love all the wondrous detail
this set offers to anyone building the 1/48 Hasegawa Raptor.
You can purchase this and other
fine resin detail items directly from Aires
or from the many retailers that carry their products. A list of some of
those retailers can be found here.
