Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not a model of an aircraft, but a small accessory for detailing a kit in 1:32 scale. The subject is the German ESK 2000 B gun camera used on aircraft during the Second World War. The set is released by the Czech maker CMK and it is an aircraft accessory in resin. The exact number of parts, the dimensions and whether the package holds any extra parts or decals are stated on the packaging of the set.
A gun camera was installed on an aircraft so that it filmed the area ahead of the machine along the line of the armament, and it was triggered together with the guns. The footage was used for the technical assessment of hits and for training. The installation was usually in the wing leading edge, in the wing root or in the nose, depending on the type of aircraft. On a model it is a small but noticeable feature: if the installation is modeled open or the camera is visible through the glazing, it raises the credibility of the whole markedly. The same set is sold in other scales too, so pick the one that matches your kit.
First wash the part in warm water with detergent to remove any residue of the mold release agent. Cut the casting block off with a saw rather than breaking it, and true the surface up by wet sanding with respiratory protection. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Painting is simple: the body of the camera in a dark shade, while the lens is well imitated with a drop of clear gloss varnish or epoxy, or with a strip of polished foil. A light wash will bring out the breaks in the body. If the camera is recessed into the skin, reckon on having to cut the surrounding opening yourself.
This is an accessory, not a model of an aircraft. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
