I hear reports of problems with some of the "resin" kits?

The following is from:
Ted Paris, President, Commanders Series Model Inc.

It has been brought to my attention that a large number of modelers have been having problems with warped resin ship hulls. Having worked daily with resin for the past 7 years I've learned a few truisms which I feel should be passed on.

  1. Resin shrinks- The material itself is prone to shrinkage thus some parts may require adjustment for fitting (usually minor).
  2. Resin warps- Resin parts (usually hulls) if removed from molds prior to total cure may bend and warp (Resin has a memory). Parts removed or shipped prior to total cure may warp.
-REMEDY- Soften part in hot water and reshape. If this is not successful modeler should contact manufacturer.

Our company stands by a total replacement policy. The customer should get all he or she pays for. We immediately respond to all requests for information and parts support.

Hopefully modeless will have positive experiences with all aftermarket resin kit's. There are numerous quality products available from an ever growing number of manufacturers.
