Hi there

In my opinion resin kits are highly expensive. But that wouldnt stop me if there was a kit I really like.

But the problem is quality. Its terrible. I bought Accurate Armours landrover hard top kit. Looked like a good model on the box and is highly detailed but nothing fits together properly! The parts are flimsey and often uneaven.

Not to mention that you have to use superglue to stick it all together "aswell as your fingers", and once its glued the joins are very weak.

I just find normal kits cheeper, more easier to build.
