Just Finished My First 1/43 PM Kit

Asmenoth, so I take it that resins and normal 1/24th model kits are about the same cept the quality of the resin is better than the plastics we normally do right?

Also the details found on resins are of much higher quality?

Pardon my ignorance

If you do have a resin kit in the future, mind taking some pics of it without first assembling it? Curious to see what it contains.

Thanks in advance man.

Well...sort of. Resin kits generally have simplified detail where plastic kits dont. For example, the undercarage on a plastic car has all of the suspension parts and drive shaft etc. Where as a resin kit might not.
One area in which resin kits are far superior to plastics are figures. Much more detail can be molded onto a resin fig than plastic.

Now as for the details being better, on 1/43 resin kits vs. 1/43 plastic kits, yes. For 1/24 kits some things are better. Usually people buy the 1/24 resin kits because they are usually subjects that are not made like the Skoda rally cars and such.

Sure I will take pics before assembly next time.

Well done. Did you try any white metal ones?? Try Portal 43 brand autosportif sells them also.

I got the Portal 43 Subaru Impreza 'Spike' 2000WRC, it's look excellent. IMO, is alot more better than Racing43.
