VLS resins sets are short run products, made with rubber molds rather than steel ones that are used to mold plastic parts. These molds have a short life and wear out after a few thousand shots.
Figures molded this way by VLS are seamless, but have pour lugs that have to be removed, as you can readily see here. Also, the parts should be washed with soap and water to remove any mold release from them. Which at times runs heavy. The pour lugs are best removed with a razor saw and the attachment point then sanded smooth.
This tan resin set contains 32 parts.
I cannot identify all the parts. So knowledgeable readers of this review will have to decide for themselves what is what. Sorry about that, but not exactly my expertise.
I got this set of ammo willed to me by a deceased modeler friend of mine who died of cancer years ago.

I am willing to sell it for a good price + postage.
