A resin bulkhead with radio equipment for the Junkers Ju 88A in 1:48 scale completes the inside of the fuselage behind the upper gun position. It is a detail accessory for a kit, not a model of the aircraft. The target kit is Dragon.
Responsibility details are not available.
The resin set from the maker CMK completes the internal fitting out of the fuselage of the twin-engine Junkers Ju 88A aircraft in 1:48 scale. It is a bulkhead with radio sets that closes off the space at the upper gun position for the flexible machine gun. The set is intended for finishing a plastic kit that has already been bought; on its own it does not form a model. The parts are shaped for the Dragon kit.
The cockpit of the Ju 88A is largely glazed and looking in from above you can see deeper into it than modelers expect. Injection-molded kits tend to have the rear wall of the pilot's compartment rendered as a bare plate, so once the fuselage is glued together there is nothing behind the seats. The resin bulkhead adds the cabinets of the radio equipment, their mountings and the division of the wall, that is exactly what is visible through the view over the gun position. The detail pays off where you are building a model with the glazing open or the cover slid back.
Before you start gluing, remove the original plastic bulkhead or its suggestion from the inside of the fuselage. A knife and a fine saw are a better choice than a burr, because the wall of the fuselage is thin in these places. Then sand the inner surfaces of the fuselage and remove the flash from the ejector pins, otherwise the part will not seat straight and the fuselage will not close. A dry test is obligatory here: bring both halves of the fuselage together with the casting inserted, hold them with a rubber band and check that the seam on the spine goes right down. Only then glue with cyanoacrylate glue. It is sensible to paint before closing the fuselage up, as once glued you will not get into the space. Wash the castings free of the release agent first, cut the casting blocks off with a saw and sand wet or with respiratory protection.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
