Just click on any of the above web sites to contact the manufacturer. Resin companies are usually small, in-house operations that really need your support. Each purchase you make from them helps to insure the continued existance of our hobby.
As many of you may know, resin manufacturer's are often the only source to find those rare, hard-to-find, one-of-a-kind kits. This is the reason why so many kits are short-run and often not repeated after a certain number or specified time period.

Here is the 1/72 MPM Ltd. Models kit of the Mitsubishi J8M1 Shusui 秋水 "Sharp Sword" in Imperial Japanese Navy colors. This is a resin, plastic, photo etched kit with vacuformed canopy. Parts fit well and the detail is top-notch. Minimal sanding, filing and filling.
The J8M1 was basically a licensed version of the Messerschmitt Me-163 Komet, with the typical Japanese improvements. This rocket-plane was a joint venture with the Imperial Japanese Navy, Imperial Japanese Army and the Mitsubishi Corporation.
First produced as the Mitsubishi MXY8, some units were also constructed by Yokosuka as the MXY8 Akigusa "Autum Grass.". The first versions were tested as gliders, then with water ballast to simulate the engines prior to planned flight tests. On the first flight of the J8M1 the engine failed during the steep climb ending in tragedy for the pilot and the aircraft. The end of hostilities also ended the Shusui.
The Army version was the Ki-200 of the same name, Shusui 秋水, as pictured below. The Army later improved on the design with the Ki-202 which was larger and had increased fuel capacity and armament.

Yet another fine kit from MPM Ltd. Models. This is the McDonnell XF-85 Goblin in 1/72. This too is a resin, plastic, metal media kit. The Goblin was a parasite fighter design of 1946. It was carried in the bomb bay and released over enemy territory to protect the bomber. With the advent of missle technology, the concept was cancelled after only two prototypes were built and tested.

The dreaded V-2 from Condor in 1/72. This is another resin, plastic kit. A simple build, save for the launch stand, this version is in Waffen Artillery Unit colors.
