CMK resin parts require basic preparation before installation. Wash all resin components in warm soapy water to remove mold release agents that can prevent paint adhesion, carefully remove casting blocks and pour stubs using sharp hobby knives or razor saws, test-fit all parts before final installation to identify any adjustments needed, prime resin parts with appropriate primers designed for resin materials, and use cyanoacrylate adhesives or epoxy for strong bonds between resin and plastic components. The high-quality casting minimizes cleanup requirements, allowing you to focus on detail painting and installation rather than correcting casting defects.
Resin parts accept paint readily after proper preparation and priming. Consider pre-shading cockpit interiors before installing seats and consoles to add depth, using washes to bring out fine details on instrument panels and seat harnesses, dry-brushing raised details to highlight texture and dimension, applying realistic weathering including wear on seat cushions and scuffing on cockpit floors, and using appropriate colors for specific materials including leather seat cushions, fabric harness webbing, and metal structural components. Reference photographs of actual aircraft interiors ensure accurate color choices and weathering patterns.
CMK designs their aftermarket sets to integrate seamlessly with specific kit manufacturers, ensuring proper fit and scale accuracy. The sets typically include detailed instructions showing which kit parts to remove or modify, how to prepare mounting surfaces for resin components, and proper assembly sequences that ensure all parts fit correctly. Some sets provide complete replacements for kit assemblies while others supplement existing kit parts with additional details, allowing modelers to choose their desired level of enhancement.
CMK has earned its reputation through decades of producing high-quality aftermarket components that address real modeling needs. The company's focus on popular subjects from multiple manufacturers ensures wide applicability, while their commitment to historical accuracy means the details are correct for specific variants and time periods. The reasonable pricing makes CMK sets accessible to modelers at various skill levels, while the quality rivals more expensive alternatives. Whether you're correcting known kit inaccuracies, adding missing details, or simply enhancing cockpit interiors and external features, CMK delivers the components needed to elevate your builds to competition-quality standards.
