Title: Aston Martin 2005 Le Mans
Post by: Bob S on Sun 10/04/15 05:40 PM
This is a 1/24 scale resin kit from Model Factory Hiro -- these kits are pricey, but the reward is in the build!  For resin, I soak the parts in a heavy-duty degreaser for an hour or so, then rinse under hot water, then scrub with a soft tooth brush and toothpaste, and a last hot rinse, and allow to air dry.
MFH has given you everything you need in these outstanding kits: super-clean accurate resin body and parts, highly machined rims and P/E, real rubber,
crystal clear vac-formed windscreens, and thin, opaque decals to rival Cartograf. All I had to do was add paint, glue and bench time.

Appreciate the comment Ron - I'm assuming that resin subjects are allowed here, right? Correct me if I've blundered...

Agree with Ron that is outstanding and can't wait to see it person.

Bob, yes resin subjects are allowed. Best I can recall we don't have any restrictions on the medium used. Post away.
