One of the leaders in resin detailing parts, Aires recently released a detail set for the wheel bay of the Tamiya 1/36 A6M5 Zero. Cast from resin, with no flash or flaws, the set comes with the two main gear bays, detail parts, and partial gear doors. As with all Aires sets the detail is superb. I did not have the Tamiya kit on hand to compare to, but a comparison to the 21^st Century Zero kit showed a serious improvement over the kit bays. It is also noted that the Aires parts do fit the 21^st Century kit (it was rumored that the 21^st Century kit had detail copied from Tamiya).

Once again, I am very impressed with Aires’ latest release. They have an eye for detail, and an amazing skill for casting resin parts. This is one highly recommended resin set. My thanks to Aires for providing an excellent sample for review.
