Barry Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I scored this on eBay. Aires 1/32 F-105G Cockpit set. It is still not listed on Aires site but available on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-32-F-105G-THUNDERCHIEF-COCKPIT-SET-RESIN-PHOTO-ETCH-ARIES-MODELS-2163-/270874972330?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f116810aa If anyone is interested I'll post more once I get a chance to open it up and study it.

David66 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hell, yeah, I'm interested! Out of my prioce range at the moment but I'd love one of these. I got the verlinden set for the F-105G and was, to be honest, disappointed, especially when I compared it to the Aires F-105D cockpit set. Show us more, TTFN, David.

Chris_B-1B Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Please post pics. I've been hoping Aires would take the Wild Weasel dive some day! Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantastic Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm definitely looking forward to your review Barry! I love Aires stuff! I picked up one too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Sprue Brothers has them, as well as Lucky Model. The set seems to be in wide release this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 First off I apologize for being much later than last Friday with photos. I had to convert my work bench for Gunsmith work on my Colt M4. That done here are photos of kit contents. I’ll say that quality and detail are as expected from Aires. I have not compared detail to actual aircraft photos for fidelity of detail. IMO it looks good. Cockpit Tub Side Walls Resin Cockpit Details One of my Control Stick Grips arrived broken.

Barry Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Forward and Aft IP Combings and IP Film Photo Etch Details IMO better than the BB/Avionix set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 This set looks awesome; too bad I sold my -G in favor of the single seat -D version. I may have to rethink that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
