Responsibility details are not available.
This is a scenic accessory for building dioramas, not a kit of a vehicle or an aircraft. The name of the product denotes cable drums, that is the large reels on which cable is wound and transported. The plural in the name suggests that there is more than one piece; look for the exact number and the dimensions on the box. The 1:48 scale matches the rest of the aircraft output and part of the ground output, so the accessory fits among models of the same size.
Cable drums are a rewarding prop, because they occur practically everywhere something is being built, repaired or wired. They suit a building site, railway and station scenes, the support area of an airfield and workshop and depot scenes. The cylindrical shape also works well in composition: it breaks up the flat areas of the base and can be used as a support for a figure or as a barrier in perspective.
Before placing them in a scene, clean the parts, remove any remains of the mold or the gates and go over the surface with primer. Lighten the wooden parts of the drum with dry brushing so that the texture shows, and handle the wound cable with a dark shade and a light lightening of the edges. Dirt at the foot of a drum helps realism a lot: a dark wash and pigment where it touches the ground. Leave several drums standing and lay one on its side, and the scene comes alive at once.
