RE: [Model ships] resin kits

I have worked (and am currently working) on a couple of resin kits.  They are more brittle than styrene, but easier to sand.  You can’t use plastic cement; you need to use either super glue or epoxy.  One of the advantages of resin is that you can use any kind of paint on them from water based to lacquers.  Before you paint, be sure to give the parts a good washing to remove any mold release agents.  JB
