[Closed] 1936 Packard Super Eight Coupe, CMF, resin, 300 pcs, to be released

Wow. I'm not usually into 30's cars but this looks magnificent.

Love '30 flowing body styling ... Love the Yellow Color ( Duhh! ) ... probally mega bucks

I love the car and the model looks fantastic, but I refuse to buy resin model cars.

+ 1

Another winner here ! I would love this one in any material, whether resin, zamac, it doesn't matter.

I'm with you Mike. With me it's the subject matter, not the material. In many cases my resin models are far superior to metal because the details are so much greater. Also, I have yet to experience any of the rash and degradation associated with some of my metal cars.

I got very spoiled .......

Opening features are my thing

For me to have to look at a static car ... bothers me

I understand and respect your view point

I know this sounds silly ....

But I have to opening features .... sorry guys

Let's blame my love for opening features on my OCD and go the lounge for refreshments and appetizers

What say ye ?

Arghhhhh !

I agree with you, Dennis. If I wanted a plastic model car with no opening features...

... I'd buy a kit and build it myself. The kits even usually provide more detail and at least one opening feature, plus they're a LOT cheaper!

I hate to break it to you, Bob, but I have a feeling that it's just a matter of time...

... until you do experience those kinds of degradation. The reason I say that is because I pay a lot of attention to resin superhero statues, made with the same material and technology as resin car models. They've been around a lot longer than the cars and a lot of them are beginning to show signs of extreme brittleness and paint discoloration.

I've also seen a few resin cars with these same problems.

I have some resin models in 1/43 that are over 30 years old and show no signs of degradation.

Plastic will degrade, but not resin. For some reason, many folks believe resin is a new thing. It's not. It's proven the test of time.

I would like to see these few cars.

Brittleness and paint degradation are usually signs of UV overexposure. Any material can suffer negative effects from that. So it would be great if you can share pics or specifics of the resin cars you mentioned. Thank you.

Please show us some of your built kits.

I agree, Mark.

Alan, I have been collecting model cars since 1947 and have over 6,000 pieces made in every material available for models and have yet had a resin model show any signs of paint rash or degradation.
