Thought this would be a fun little kit that I won at a raffle so I got Aires aftermarket set to spruce it up. I would not recommend the Aires set, it led to a significant amount of work for what felt like not much pay off. You could just add a couple wires or other greebles and get the same effect with less manhandling. This was a pretty quick turnaround which is a nice change of pace. I tried layering and sanding down the decals on this one but Tamiya just makes them so thick.
