Where can I buy these Asiatam copies?
Yup... a "cold shot" Hairdryer works best IMO but that works with the good resin...that's not the case with this kit...it actually has very little warpage...you're a modeller J.... you must have come across those super brittle resin kits... this is what this is ...and with that said...you should know there is no fix for brittle

PS.. Yes I would like to know where this kit came from as well...as I couldn't find anyone selling Newly released Asiatam resin kits ...If it is Asiatam... I would like to write them and tell them how lousy it is
Yes, I have built a few Verlinden resin kits and they can be that way sometimes, they feel strong but are actualy brittle. They only fix for brittle I know of is glueing it all back together, over and over- which is hell

Do I also have the Coelian of Asiatam and the rush for a Stug lie with me and the resin is the same as from Profiline earlier and Asiatam has the rights and the forms for legally purchased.
I think it's not good if someone copied the work of others and then wants to make a deal. The price always comes into being from the size of the effort and the cost is this also establish so. If this is too many make offer no longer something new.
I do not know how it is in other countries, but are allowed to do only one copy for yourself if you have bought something, but then do not sell this further with us.
If someone wants to do something he can be happy, but then he should make the master before themselves and do not use the work of others.
That is the honest method.

Wish I had seen your post earlier Edwin...Thanks for the input...it is really helpful...and helps raise the attention that there are bad kits floating around..reason I don't feel too bad about biting the proverbial bullet on the purchase I made... as now this one is off the market

Yeah Verlinden is one of those companies that markets "hit or miss" castings...most are pretty good though...but some are terribly misshaped ... all in all though...I like working with resin if it is good quality... sometimes more than plastic..I've built more than enough in my day... and still have a few unbuilt figures that still need attention...
