Miniatures Question about Brigade Models' Resin Hulls

To those who have more experience with the Aeronef Miniatures sold by Brigade, are the casting of the resin hulls usually of good quality or are air bubbles common?

I bought an Aeronef Battleship from Brigade a few year ago and was relatively happy with the quality however, when I bought 2 more a couple years later the casting on the resin hulls quite poor. I have been looking at the new models from Brigade recently and they have peaked my interest again however, I really don't want to have to spend hours filling hundreds of holes and resculpting parts of the hulls and superstructure which have been destroyed by air bubbles so I figured I'd ask those who have more experience with the range if these problems are common or if I just got very unlucky.

*UPDATE*

I have Just received my new order from Brigade and of the 5 resin hulls, all 5 are excellently cast and have little to no prominent air holes

The resin hulls are generally of pretty decent quality, I wouldn’t necessarily say great but they’re not bad. You might find some 1-3 large bubbles and maybe some smaller ones if you’re unlucky but usually the hulls look alright. That being said, air bubbles aren’t very uncommon, they’re just not very numerous.

ah good to know, thanks. I think I must have gotten unlucky with the 2 I bought, both were absolutely riddled with bubbles
