In the past, the opposite was true. The appearance of a plastic kit of a warship killed off any resin versions. Just ask Jon Warneke how many of his ISW resin kits were killed off when a plastic kit of the same ship appeared. Off course in large part this was because the plastic version was much cheaper. However, with the high prices that I have seen with some recent and upcoming plastic kits, this may no longer be true. I am working on a ssmodel 1:350 3d printed USS Brooklyn right now and I really like it. Ssmodel lists it as the 1941 fit but it matches the Alan Raven and Profile Morskie 1938 plans and profiles.
