Responsibility details are not available.
This is a 3D printed resin accessory in 1:48 scale representing an A-6 type oxygen cylinder used by the US Army Air Forces in the Second World War. It is not a kit or a model; it is a small component used to fit out an aircraft interior, a workshop scene or an airfield diorama. It is made by the Czech firm Eduard.
The crews of American bombers flew at altitudes where breathing is impossible without supplementary oxygen, so oxygen cylinders were part of the basic equipment of the fuselage and of the kit of the ground crew. On a model it comes into its own twice over: inside the aircraft, where it fills spaces behind the cockpit that would otherwise be empty, and outside in a scene, as part of the equipment beside an aircraft being prepared for flight. Eduard offers several types of cylinders and tanks separately, so you can put together exactly the combination you need.
Cut the part off the print supports with a sharp scalpel, sand away the marks they leave and wash the surface in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent. It is bonded with super glue. Apply a primer before painting: paint holds badly on untreated resin. Pressure cylinders tend to be smooth and glossier, so an even coat from an airbrush suits them, with a fine wash into the recesses and, in a scene, light wear on the edges.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and without the base kit. Glue, paints and the model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
