This detail set from Aires features resin wheel bays for the F8F-1 Bearcat from Hobby boss. 

This set is designed to replace the main wheel bays and gives you the rear engine bulk head to complete the job and close up this area.

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

There are 3 pages of instruction 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 detail on the kit parts to fit these parts.

The detail on these parts is eye popping and this will give the F8F-1 Bearcat much better detail in this area.

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.
