A new resin company, Obscureco has started making resin parts for Aircraft kits. Their website http://www.obscureco.com has the list of their current resin lineups. I'll try to give a short review on how nice these resins are.
During our IPMS Nationals held here in the Philippines, Obscureco donated some of their resin items as prizes.
Resin Details
I had the chance to look at the amazing detail of these items. At a first glance, they doesn't look like your ordinary resin items. First of all, they are flash free. Second, they look more like parts from a kit due to the clean cut. I had the chance to look at the details of the wheels for the 1/32 Hellcat/Corsair and I must say that the tread patterns are unmatched. The excess resin that holds the wheels are very minimal. This means that removing it would be easy and will not damage the tread pattern. I did also got a peak from their resin cockpit for the 1/72 Harrier. The detail too is fantastic but just like most resin items, the seatbelts had been molded on to the seat.
Packaging
Prop blades, wheels and the like are place in a bag just like most resin companies. Ejection seats and other delicate items had been packaged in a small box filled with foam to prevent damage due to transport.
