Reviewed By  Steven Brooks, IPMS# 45582

MSRP: $19.50 Web Site: www.aires.cz This Aires kit consist of four resin pieces, one photo-etched part, and one photo-etched paint mask for enhancing the detail of the AN/APG 65 Multi-mode Radar in the Hobby Boss F-18 Hornet kit. The four resin parts are one radar antenna dish, one radome frame and hinge assembly, and three parts to make up the radar antenna assembly. The photo-etched parts are one detail disk for detailing the radar dish and a "radiation hazard "paint mask. All the resin parts are flawlessly molded, with beautiful detail. The details in the photo-etched parts are incredible. I am very impressed with the instructions included in the Aires kit. They are simple to follow and very clearly drawn. The instructions for this kit breaks down assembly into three steps. This kit does not require bending of photo-etched parts. This detail kit will be used in a Pax River test Bug called D'Skunk and will include an Aires Electronics bay detail kit and Afterburner decal set . The complete review of all the items will be coming soon. I would like to thank Aires and IPMS/USA for this review sample.
