I keep resisting buying his resin kits just because I've never built one. But Now I just gotta get one of these.

Joel,
You should really take the plunge-- Resin isn't that difficult nowadays-- especially with these state-of-the-art 1/32 kits from Silver Wings and Lukgraph-- they are almost flawless in molding, better than plastic even. Here's a link to a build article I did on a CMR resin Short S-23 4 engine seaplane kit I built a few years ago for Internet Modeler, there are some tips and techniques, but that CMR kit had issues when compared to these new Lukgraph kits:

I don't think you'll be disappointed. Remember, these Lukgraph and Silver Wings (I have a few of theirs) are usually limited run kits-- it's not likely they'll be produced in plastic, if you don't buy them now, you wont likely be able to get one later.

VR, Russ

It's not my intent to hijack this thread, but here is another Resin Kit from over on Large Scale Planes built by Nicolas Renoult. It's a Silver Wings kit of the P12, but again, a superb build of a resin kit-- those of you who have never done one before should really give them a try. These are not your Dad's Resin Kits-- they are carefully engineered, have almost no molding flaws--(especially those pesky ejector marks) and go together quite well. The smaller parts do sometimes require some clean up work, and some sanding precautions should be observed, but really, they are great kits for first time builders--especially in 1/32 scale. Don't let the word "resin" scare you--give 'em a try!
