Do any of you have experience with the 1/24 resin model kits made by Fernando Pinto of Portugal? I have been looking at some of them on Ebay and am interested in several of them. They are expensive, well in my opinion anyway. A kit delivered for $180 is expensive to me. I have never built an entirely resin model; what advice/suggestions/new techniques do I need? I feel like it would be a new challenge for me, and might be interesting and different enough that it will pull me out of a serious modeling slump.
I was watching a WIP of the Bluebird Proteus CN-7 on Britmodeler. It was very impressive, but labor intensive for sure. I have the old Revell kit of Mickey Thompson's Challenger in the same scale; wouldn't those two look great displayed together?
I'm seriously considering buying the Pinto kit of the Ferrari 340 - 375 Carrera Panamericana 1954, driven by Phil Hill and Richie Ginther. I've built nothing but aircraft for many years. Perhaps a foray into somethng like this would be good for me. Please give me your opinions and advice! Thanks, Gary
