A resin model of the German Daimler-Benz DB 603 aircraft engine in 1:72 scale from the brand CMK. An accessory for detailing a model of an aircraft or for display on its own, not a kit of an airplane.
Responsibility details are not available.
A casting of the powerplant in modeling resin in 1:72 scale. It is neither a model of an aircraft nor a part of one in the usual sense; it is an engine that is either built into the open engine cowling of a part-built plastic model or set up as a stand-alone object on a base beside a finished airplane.
The DB 603 was a liquid-cooled inverted V12, that is with the crankshaft on top, an arrangement that Daimler-Benz used throughout its aircraft range for the sake of better visibility from the cockpit and easier placement of the armament. In capacity it was the largest production engine of this family and it powered above all the heavier twin-engine and high-altitude types of the late period of the Second World War. Characteristic are its slender silhouette and the dense ignition wiring run along the cylinder heads.
The fit into the plastic is what decides. The engine cowling of a plastic model usually has to be cut open or sanded from the inside so that the casting gets into place without pressure; resin will not yield to pressure, it will crack. Bring things together dry, therefore, until the part drops in under its own weight. Thin the inner edges of the plastic with a scalpel; with resin it is better to take material off the cowling than off the engine. It pays to grade the painting: a dark base, a dry brush in a metallic shade across the edges and finally a thin oil wash into the recesses between the cylinders. The ignition leads can be suggested with thin copper wire glued in with a drop of cyanoacrylate glue.
This is an accessory, not a model of an aircraft. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.
