| Taylor,just think of resin as another medium to work with,the parts come much the same as in a conventional plastic kit except they have a much more chunkier and solid feel about them,the most important thing to remember is that the parts need cleaning before assembly,the reason behind this is that during the moulding curing process the obtain a slippery feel about them,sometimes this is due to a release agent placed into the simple moulds.
To clean use a bit of baby shampoo in lukewarm water,use a tea strainer to hold the smaller parts and do not flush them down the sink !
It is doubtfu whether the XF-11 will ever be produced as a conventional plastic kit so make the very most of these types of kit which provide the basis to build a model of this exciting subject.
Most of the models are produced in a cottage industry style by real enthusiasts and the sale of the kits just about covers the cost of the mould making and initial plug,in other words they are time and labour consuming.
