The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. The detailing in the cockpit is very well done
and includes some very tiny details. I was surprised to see the control
stick cast as part of the cockpit floor.......it is very delicate looking and
I'm amazed it could be cast as part of the cockpit floor. You also get a
spare control stick that you can use on another model.
The photo etch covers some
critical detail on the Corsair and it is obvious Aires put much thought into the
design of this cockpit set. I love the vent in the cockpit floor.
If you are building the 1/48 Hasegawa F4U-7 Corsair,
then this cockpit set will definitely dress up the cockpit in fine style.
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.
