Hey guys

You probably get this question a lot, but.....
I recently peurchased The Bentley Speed 8 O3' LM kit. It's my firts resin kit so, Iv'e got no idea if i should build and paint it like and ordinary Plastic.
Are all paints okay? Place the devcals on just like normal? same glue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Resin is more brittle than most plastics. If you drop it or start being too rough with it, it will break. It will also sand a lot faster so you need to use a higher number grit. All paints will work, just be careful if you have to strip it. Some resins react badly to stripping solvents. Decals are the same, but I would take some extra time with them due to the size of some of them. I strongly do not recommend using the screws unless you predrill the holes. I have seen some people snap the body in half tightening them up.

Well most of the things are said, few more:
Dry fit test, every single part
Use CA or 2K epoxy glue
For Vacform parts either white glue or 2K epoxy
Paint striping, only owen cleaner
Sand, wash and clean all bigger parts
Be careful when using hair dryer when you are puting the decals on, resin is temperature sensitive.
