Apologies but the original pictures for this post have disappeared for some reason, yet again my apologies and please free to have a look for something esle on the blog.
I have a lot of Samurai from Perry Miniatures which I believe is still my favorite period of all I have ever owned. The Old Crow stuff is lovely but a pain to order and receive.
This may not be relevant but here goes anyway! When building scratchbuilt vehicles I try to cover as much of the flat panels with detail - in the main it is simple stick labels cut into small squares, rectangles or circles, try to use labels with a strong adhesive - for example GB stickers for cars. Once undercoated and painted the slight raised surface detail can help to break up the toy-like effect of some resin models.
there are many examples on the Blog - see Space 1889/Aeronef label for more details.
Thanks for the comparison photo - I may have to get one of these for my 25mm stuff
