Responsibility details are not available.
This item is a resin accessory from the Reskit brand, not a helicopter kit. It is listed among resin accessories for helicopters in 1:48 scale and serves to improve the detail of a model of the tandem-rotor Piasecki H-21C, nicknamed the Flying Banana. The name of the item does not state which particular areas the set relates to, and the contents are not stated here. In any case these are parts that are added to or exchanged for the original plastic parts, not a complete model.
The Piasecki H-21 is an American transport helicopter with a pair of counter-rotating rotors placed at the ends of a markedly curved fuselage, which is what it owes its nickname to. The tandem rotor layout allowed a large cargo space and a wide range of center-of-gravity positions. The H-21C version served with the ground forces for transport and supply and was used outside the United States as well. The engine was housed in the rear of the fuselage and drove both rotors through a shaft running along the cabin roof.
With resin accessories the procedure is always the same. Cut the parts from the casting block with a fine-toothed saw and never break them off, because resin cracks unpredictably. Sand the surfaces wet, which keeps the dust down. Wash the whole set in lukewarm water with detergent and let it dry, otherwise the remains of the mold release agent will stop the paint from adhering. It is bonded solely with super glue. Before finally gluing a part, always try it dry and fill any gaps with a drop of a thicker super glue with filler. Start the painting with a primer and only then apply the covering shades.
The accessory is supplied unpainted. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
