Responsibility details are not available.
An accessory set of resin from the manufacturer Airone Hobby in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit of an aircraft, but miniature equipment: aerial cameras used with US naval aviation in the period before the Second World War. They come into their own in the open cabins of observation and reconnaissance machines, in the gear of ground personnel on an airfield diorama or as a small detail that gives a scene credibility.
Aerial photography was among the main tasks of naval aviation long before the Second World War. For reconnaissance, mapping and the assessment of practice gunnery, sizeable instruments with wooden or metal bodies were used, which the operator carried in his hand or fixed into the structure of the aircraft. In 1:72 scale these are very small objects on which the sharpness of the shapes decides — and that is exactly why they are cast from resin, which holds finer detail than injection-molded plastic.
First wash the castings in lukewarm soapy water and let them dry out thoroughly. On parts as small as these, cut the casting blocks off with a fine-toothed saw or a new scalpel blade; cutters would crush them. Do the sanding wet and with your airways protected. They are glued with super glue in a really small amount, applied with a pin. Apply a primer before painting. The body of a camera comes into its own with a dark base coat on which the edges are brought out with a dry brush; the lens can be suggested with a drop of gloss clear varnish after it is painted a dark shade.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and a base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
