KMZ Iskra Filmtransport (28)
First step in preparing the Iskra for the ruby red window is to remove the leather from the backcover (of course, when you would use a very basic red window, removing the leather is probably not necessary).
I did this by wetting the leather with water. The KMZ factory used a kind of contact glue which is, unfortunatly, not easily dissolved by water. So i did this job very slowly to avoid tearing.
After removal blow the metal bone dry with a hairblower to avoid corrosion.
The blue arrows point to rivets. Because some of these are deteriorated i shall have to replace these.
