 Subject:  Resin Kit DislikeList thread.  
  
 Date:  Aug 30, 2005
 From:  Paul A. Owen 
Why do people prefer injection moulded kits over resin kits? I notice this when these "wish list" polls appear. A lot of the wished for kits already exist as exceptional quality resin kits. They're easy to assemble, accurate (for the most part), etc. One tank specifically is the Comet, this kit already exists as an excellent kit frmo Accurate Armour. I suppose the price puts people off but come on, how many Comets are you going to build?

For the record, I used to dislike resin kits myself up until recently, when I got AA's Comet. I was basing my old resin experience on on the old inaccurate, greasy kits from Verlinden (Lynx, Strumtiger, etc.)

Paul.
