IS THERE A HOW TO GUIDE ON HOW TO WORK WITH RESIN? I JUST RECEIVED IN THE MAIL MY RESIN COCKPIT FOR MY REVELL 1/32 F-4 PHANTOM AND I HAVE NEVER WORKED WITH RESIN BEFORE. DOES IT PRIME AND PAINT THE SAME AS PLASTIC? HOW TO TRIM OFF THE EXCESS RESIN? ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Good luck with the Resin kit !
Work clean and be gentle with the stuff as it does not forgive manhandling !
Glue with C.A. only ! and a nice fine primer should suffice to give the resin surface a little tooth for paint to grip on !
Wash and air dry all of your parts before to help remove left over mould release agent....
if not ? you will see paint bubble and peel ....
Study your instructions sheets many times before assembly !
it pays off in the end !
DO NOT BLOW on your resin dust from sanding or Cutting... be mindful of it being ....nasty to your health!
work clean and you will love the level of details it brings to your models.
Wet sand if you can....? it helps keep dust down !
Once again... Welcome to the World of Resin After Market....
Later mate !

... ... Omg... how much work is a black dog resin kit.. .. ?
And no manufaturer supplied instructions? (Those were the reviewers)
Styrene with the odd resin cp, exhausts or wheels will do me.
Good luck with your cockpit mate.
