AN/ALQ-131 (Deep) ECM Pod (648382)

1:48 Eduard

 

 

Flown on a number of Cold War and modern jets such as the F-4, F-15 and F-16, as well as the doughty A-10 since the 1980s, this box is designated by Eduard a "Deep" variant with more internal space available to pack additional equipment into.  The set contains just three resin parts on two casting blocks, with the largest being the body, which resembles an aerodynamic tube with an angular box-like extension along most of its length.  The two smaller parts are the pair of shackles to which the pylon grabs on to hold it in place on the aircraft, and these are attached on the top surface of the pod.  A decal sheet is included for the myriad of little stencils that cover the slab-sides (with some printed silver included), and colour call-outs are in the usual Gunze codes, with a choice of all-over Olive Drab with grey dielectric panels, or plain white with dark decals for the white option and white decals for the dark option.
