The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. This is a very involved set and getting the
painting correct will be a pleasant challenge as this set is loaded with
fine detail. The instructions are straight forward and easy to follow line
drawings, but make no mistake, this cockpit set is loaded with tiny details and
is a kit in itself. I would think test fitting the cockpit set before you
begin assembling and finishing this cockpit set would be the best route to
go. Remember to coat your canopy in Future before you try to attach any PE
parts to clear styrene as the fumes from the CA glue will fog the canopy.
You will not be disappointed with
the level of detail in this cockpit set and it would be an excellent addition to
the EA-6B Prowler from Kinetic.
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.
