This latest release from Aires features a complete resin detail set for the J35F Draken. 

This detail set is designed for the Hasegawa kit and includes;

  • Resin cockpit and ejection seat

  • Flying surfaces 

  • Nose gear bay

  • Main gear bays

  • Some open panels

  • Engine exhaust

  • Photo etch detail parts including seatbelts, instrument panels with acetate, canopy mirrors and much more

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The photo etch is excellent and up to the very high standards Aires is well known for.

I enjoyed having a close look at the cockpit tub and ejection seat and the rich detail.  The 3 pages of instruction sheets include line drawings explaining where everything goes and are easy to follow. 

You can purchase these 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.    

This is quite the complete set and as far as I can tell it includes everything you need to build a first class Draken.

I would like to thank Aires for providing me with this review sample.
