Zorki 5 cut model

Hello

Could anybody say if this cut model of a Zorki 5 is factory made by KMZ?






Thank you for any information on this.

Best wishes - Guido

I do not think it was made by KMZ. They would not bother painting the body green.
There was a number of beautifully made cut-outs on eBay in 2000-2001, maybe this is one of them.

I would second to Yuri. But this is one of the best cut models I ever see!!!
Thank you for posting it.

Guido,

Very beautiful example ... good that you have it and show us ... thank you.

Did KMZ make any cut-out examples?

Regards, Bill

Thank you very much for your answers.

@Bill
I would I had ... I was only asked for this by the owner and because I was not shure I asked here in this forum full of knowledge about such things. ;-)

I have a question, Was this a camera for repair training purposes? Or just made by someone with time on tdheir hands? I must admit they did a wonderful job. Don

Probably was for demonstration of a photographic process.. like for school or presentations.

I would think KMZ made cutouts for training purposes. If not KMZ, then some shops at training facilities.

I suspect that 'orginal" cutouts, i.e. the ones made in the 1960's for training purposes were not as nice as this one.
