Responsibility details are not available.
An add-on set from the LooK range by the Czech company Eduard. It is not an aircraft kit but a ready-made instrument panel to be fitted into the cockpit of a plastic model in 1:48 scale that you already own. The panel comes painted and with the dial faces drawn in, so the most demanding painting job in the whole build falls away. The modeler only separates it, tries the fit and glues it in place of the original plastic part.
The Z-526AFS belongs to the family of single-engine aerobatic aircraft of Czechoslovak production that were built at Otrokovice from the 1950s on. It is a single-seat configuration derived from the two-seat version, with the cockpit moved back and with a shorter span. Machines of this family were the mainstay of competition aerobatics for many years and also flew with flying clubs. The cockpit is glazed along the whole length of the canopy, so the interior and the instrument panel are very clearly visible on the finished model.
Try the fit dry first and make any adjustments on the plastic seating, not on the panel itself. The original plastic instrument panel part usually has to be removed or thinned down. It is attached with a small drop of cyanoacrylate glue applied with a pin, or with a drop of water-based gloss varnish, which holds well enough and leaves no white bloom on the surrounding finish. Do not spray over the finished colored surface and do not dull it with matte varnish, as the dial faces would lose the impression of glass.
The set is an accessory for a plastic model, not a kit in its own right. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package. Check that it matches your model before buying.
