Silver Wings & HPH do absolutely spectacular resin kits that are a joy to build. There are some resin kits that need some work - GMF's Hs-129 needed a lot of work - but I'd certainly recommend Silver Wings for inter - war "golden age" biplane kits & HPH for more modern stuff. Their Supermarine Walrus in 1/32 is superb, if not a tad bit expensive. Their 1/32 Catalina is legendary.
I’ve got a Silver Wings kit waiting to be built & it is excellent.
I’ve also just had delivered the HPH Mig-15 in 1:32 scale which is their latest kit. It’s a very detailed kit but I’ve got to say I was slightly disappointed with the finish to the edges of the fuselage casting on the Mig. There will always be some work required to get the edges as flush as possible & then fill the joint along the top & bottom of the fuselage, reinstate lost surface detail etc - but the edges of the fuselage in my kit are not very well done & will result in more work than normal. This aspect is below the standard of casting I’d expect on a resin kit of the price it is. I may have been unlucky with my particular kit but that’s still a HpH quality control problem.
That aside, it’s a very good kit overall with a vast number of well detailed parts & the best 1:32 kit of the Mig-15 available.
Marsh Models/Aerotech do some nice ‘between the wars’ 1:32 resin kits, mainly of racing aircraft. I’ve got a Mew Gull underway with a DH.88 Comet in the ‘stash’.
