UPDATE! As with many other endeavors, we at the International Resin Modellers Association - IRMA have also been impacted by the COVID-19/CCP (now CCP Xi variant) Virus both as an infection and with the lockdowns imposed by government. We have revised restocking and production dates and strive to get these kits out as quickly as possible under the circumstances. Please be aware, we are working as quickly and as hard as we can to fulfill all orders and give you the best customer satisfaction feasible! Be happy, healthy, and safe!

Memorial to Dr. Jesse Marcel, Jr.
As you may have heard, Jesse Marcel, Jr. left this world on Sunday 25 August 2013. Dr. Marcel is the son of Major Jesse Marcel, Sr. who was involved in the Roswell vehicle crash of 1947, when Jesse Jr. was only 11 years of age. Dr. Marcel saw his father forced to recant what was originally found at the site and comply with the weather balloon story. Dr. Marcel was also one of the very few people on Earth that had the privilege to actually see and touch the materials from the crash site including the metal that returned to its original shape and the strange characters from the craft itself.
Dr. Jesse Marcel, Jr.
It was my extreme privilege and honor to receive a telephone call from Dr. Marcel in 1994 while I was working at the United Nations. I had advised friends of Dr. Marcel of my work in various languages (English, French, German, Japanese and Russian with studies in Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai and ancient Babylonian, Egyptian and Greek) and that it would be interesting to investigate if the characters on the alien craft might be decipherable as a possible ancestor or influence to human linguistics in written form.
Roswell Heiroglyphics by Dr. Marcel
To my surprise Dr. Marcel called to share his experience and knowlege on the matter! He was very soft spoken, dignified, respectful, humble and kind. I cannot say that I knew Dr. Marcel outside of the telephone call and the research on the Roswell alien characters has been inconclusive so far, but that he took the time out of is very busy schedule to respond to my inquiry was, for me at least, a very wonderful experience.
Roswell Heiroglyphics Color
Dr. Marcel was a surgeon in the US Air Force and returned to duty at the age of 60. He was a Patriot in every sense of the word and served his country well.
There will be many memorials, articles and rememberances of Dr. Marcel, and this is just my small interaction with this fine gentleman. Our condolences and sympathies to the Marcel family. - Zane R Nobbs
It is with deep sadness that we at IRMA have learned of the death of Michiels Emile of VAMI Models from Belgium on Thursday 28 March 2013. When it was difficult or impossible to find a kit, Michiels could locate it. Always the gentleman in business and in life, we will miss him very much.
Rest in peace Michiels.

Here members can exchange information, find answers to questions, learn about resources and manufacturers and study new techniques in resin modeling.
In the coming weeks there will be photos of completed models (mostly aviation as that is the majority of resin models), sources for manufacturers of kits, in-progress pics and a question and answer forum with tips.
We are also constructing a blog page and expanding the Resin Manufacturers pages along with Members Pages and Reviews Pages. In addition IRMA members can also post to the Trades & Exchanges page and have desired kits listed on the Wish List! page.
We are having an effect on the industry! Of the 100 kits currently listed on the Wish List! page, 25 are currently in production with 18 more in progress or planned within the year by resin kit manufacturers! And IRMA will make the rest!
We look forward to working with you for all of your resin related issues.

This is the OMEGA Models Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-13 in Soviet Navy colors. A very nice, clean resin kit.
Model by Zane R Nobbs
The Unicraft Models Focke-Wulf FW.P.V./3 in 1/72 is the only model of this very unique jet. This particular kit is not an easy one. It required the interior to be built from scratch including the engine. Definitely not a beginners model. The FW.P.V./3 was the third version of the Ta-183 Huckebein. The tail was redesigned to avoid "flutter" from a T-tail. Dr. Tank would build his vision later in Argentina as the I.Ae.33 Pulqui II in 1950.

The A+V Models 1/72 Tichonrawow 302 in early war Soviet earth tones is well detailed and very clean kit with metal details.

Here is the IRMA kit of the Gloster CXP-1001 in 1/72. Although the full mock-up was completed and component parts made, the program was canceled by the United Kingdom due to the deteriorating situation of the Republic of China.
This is the first in a series of at least 12 never-before-produced kits from IRMA. Although not an easy kit, the end result is a significant aircraft for your collection, a great conversation piece and a very rare kit as only 20 were made.
We want to thank our members because this is one of the results of your memberships at work, along with maintaining this site and promoting our hobby on a global scale.
This is an RS Models 1/72 Reggiane Re-2007. Finished in Regina Aeronautica colors. A more realistic Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana version is on the way. This kit is well researched and well done for details.

This Bell X-5 in 1/72 was put out by Project-X in England and was later produced by WHIRLYKITS in the United Kingdom. A very rare, but important model of this historic aircraft.
