Reviewed By  Ed Kinney, IPMS# 2989

Aires Web Site: www.aires.cz Set #2072 - 1/32 F-100D Super Sabre Wheel Wells; MSRP: $41.95 These are beautifully molded and go far beyond the kit offerings. Details are crisp and the nose wheel door and hydraulic struts are included. No pesky ejector pin marks to deal with on any parts. Very nice indeed. Set #2010 - Cockpit Set for the Trumpeter F-100D; MSRP: $59.95 Once again these folks have outdone themselves. This rendering is absolutely gorgeous! Cast in grey resin without warps, flaws or pinholes. These parts are well engineered and beautifully done. This set includes photo etched fret as shown and utilizes a photo film instrument sheet. Images show how well done the seat, canopy sub frame and bud are done. Seat belts are P.E. with separate belts and buckles that will need to be threaded through each other…(oh joy !) Not the easiest task, but beautiful when completed. Both these offerings go a long way to making the Trumpeter kit a more realistic replica and are most highly recommended. Many thanks to David Lajer from Aires for this review sample.
