Mike,
        The residue on the wings and fuselage is most likely uncured resin. This can be remedied by exposing the parts to UV light or placing in direct sunlight. If you utilize the Sun, be careful not to let the parts get hot as this will cause warping.

Well, I wont say what this looks like but I think you're capable of making it into a silk purse.

Hi Berman,
I'm not sure if the residue is uncured resin or release agent.
It could be that although resin, those parts were also 3D printed as on one side of each are small indents, which could be where support trees were located.
However, I've all ready washed all of the kit parts and they're now in mild sunlight to cure any resin that needs it.
