Hi all.
From your experience,how interchangeable are the AM resin kits.
For example,would a set designed for a Tamiya kit fit into a Hasegawa etc,or would you recommend sticking to the kit the resin set was designed for?
Ive never used one before and Id like a few pointers before I try one out.

Hi Nige

After market stuff is always connected to some work .... which includes "some" sanding and filling. Do not fool yourself in most cases you will have to work hard to fit all in. If you are aware of that it should be no problem to fit AM stuff to another kit (e.g. I put the leftovers from CA Bf 109 A and an Eduard zoom set for Tamiya into my Bf 109 E from Hasegawa) ...

BUT there are cases when one model is totally different from the other and you better look or ask beforehand if a there is a problem ...

sorry that I'm not much of a help

cheers

Steffen
