What is a resin kit?

A resin kit is made from a liquid synthetic polyurethane resin, which is poured into a mould. Once it has set, the hardened model is removed from the mould revealing the model or model parts.

In my experience there is a bit more flash with resin kits but overall there is not much difference between the two, the detail is just the same, the painting is the same so no need for special paints.

Resin is considerably heavier than a conventional plastic kit and is usually used because it allows shorter runs by the manufacturer.

You will require a super glue (cynaoacrylate) or a two part epoxy glue for gluing parts together as plastic cements do not work on resin.
