I just completed the AFV Club Hummer, which had some resin parts. I found I actually enjoyed working with resin. So...on ebay I scored the Verlinden Engine and Interior sets for the Tamiya M20 utility car. Any comments or pointers regarding these kits?

I too am waiting for the time I can get these update sets for both the M8/M20, so I found some info on them here:

M20 Update Set

And here is the Verlinden's awesome booklet on superdetailing the kit: (Second on down)

Thanks for the links. I have both the M8 & M20 kits in my stash, so I am very tempted to order the book. My update sets should arrive this week.

I am in the middle of Tamiya's M8 greyhound. I got the M8 Interior & Exterior Update Set
No. 1453, and I am really enjoying it. IMHO it's a very nice set.

Thanks for the link. Looks like I'll need to get the M8 set when I complete my M20.
