Uncle Pete Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) I've never tried a resin kit.... Is it a different build technique or just a different material? (Just a casual question requiring just a casual answer... No need to go into detail. 48 is not my scale, I have space only for 1/72 on my shelves, but I figured since you have a whole attic full you'd probably know your resin from your elbow.)

Also a different build technique. Resin required Supeglue as normal plastic glue does not do the job... Aldo a different kind of sanding and prefit check work is to be expected! I'd recommend to use some aftermarkeit resin on ine of your kits to gsin experience before buying a full kit! Search for review and feedback of sellers before you buy! Just a general suggestion!

Would something like Bostik or Evo-Stik do the trick? I'd guess epoxy would work but that has its own headaches, too. I'm interested in having a crack at resin since I've been led to understand it gives a better model but not sure I want to climb another learning slope. And does the paint stick as well as it does on polystyrene? So far, I've not felt the need for the after-market details as my skills aren't really up to snuff... I almost break my arm patting myself on the back when I can get the seam down the middle of a fuze to vanish without messing up the panel lines!
