Interesting release!

Note that the link to the company website is broken (looks like an email address instead of proper URL?), and I can't easily find any info on this company via google search, so it is kind of mysterious how one might go about acquiring one of these kits.

Hi Vance,
it was done on purpose and the link is not broken. X-Resin does not have any website yet so I decided to provide at least e-mail address for contact purposes. As far as I know their kits can be found in the offer of on-line hobby shops. If you will have any difficulties in finding it in your area write me a PM or email and I'll try to solve your problems somehow. They are my natives.

ah, ok, thank you =)

you might want to tinker with how the email is presented - it is currently coming up in a browser as "http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/[email protected]", which is neither a URL or an email, so not everyone is going to be able to figure out what to do with that.

There was a bit of code missing, now it shoud have open in a separate window for writing email. Beside we just got X-Resin a new company email address which have also been updated. Please write to: xresin(at)wp.pl It's still under "company website" button but I can't change this, that's how the whole site works. Anyway, better this than nothing.

H-m-m, Friendship's famous flight was made on Junkers floats. I wonder if they plan to provide those in 1:48?

Hi Michal,

This is a wonderful news! I have been long waiting to do F.VII's in Croatian colors. As you may remember, I already reviewed the X-resin's PWS-A here, and I was quite pleased with it. Communication was always an issue, but I must confirm that the quality of the kits is quite nice and I am very eager to see what is in the box.

All the best,
Entoni

Hi,

I just spotted the Fokker being advertised on e-bay. I also contacted the X-resin to get more info on the kit, because I thought that it would be nice if you could actually see some photos of the actual thing for the kit of that price. Maybe it is pre-order, but it is still unclear... I will let you know as soon as I find something.

All the best,
Entoni

I got an information from X-Resin about this kit. Later today I'll publish new report with some details and good photos.
