SITE UPDATE! As Yahoo! Site Solutions is no longer being updated or maintained after today, Thursday 31 March 2022, IRMA will be moving to a new provider. This will take us some time, so please be patient. We will be listing kit release dates on our new site. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Additional Details
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.
Model and pohotograph by Zane R Nobbs
Here is the PZL.50 Jastrząb in 1/72 which was an advanced, pre-war fighter from Poland. One was completed prior to the Nazi invasion of Poland, but crash landed as the pilot tried to move it eastward. Six more were never completed, but the airframes were taken to Germany for evaluation prior to scrapping. An aircraft with much potential.
This kit was an early resin kit from Poland which was sold in a little hobby shop in New York City in a bagged form. It may have been done by CzechMasterKits . . . there was no name on the instructions or bag.
Need More Information?
Soon we will be offering a search-service to help you find that elusive kit you have heard about, dreamed of, but just cannot find! Perhaps we can even get your desired kit on the market if it does not yet exist. So far we have helped bring at least five kits to production!
We can contact virtually all the major resin manufacturers, dealers, even individual collectors to help in your quest. Search fees will be reasonable with discounts for members. We can even arrange shipping, at cost, from this site.
Model and photograph by Zane R Nobbs
Some of you may remember the Pleadian UFO from Lunar Models way back when. They did about 27 different UFO kits, often in one-piece or two-piece formats. All that was required was some sanding, filing and a few coats of silver, flat aluminum or other shiny color of paint. The scales varied, but this one appears to be about 1/72.
Sadly Lunar Models went out of business severals years ago and we are not able to locate where the molds might be. If we can find them, we'd be more than happy to recast all of those old, nostalgic kits!
