AN / ALQ-131 deep ECM pod (3D Printed) (A-7, A-10, F-4, F-16, F-111, C-130), 1/72 - ResKit Models RS72-0394

The AN/ALQ-131 Deep ECM pod by ResKit Models, reference RS72-0394, is a 3D-printed detailing accessory designed for 1/72 scale military aircraft models. It reproduces the deep-section version of the AN/ALQ-131 electronic warfare weapon system container.

This pod lets you enhance the external loadout of an aircraft model fitted with electronic countermeasure systems. The manufacturer specifies it for 1/72 projects representing, in particular, the A-7, A-10, F-4, F-16, F-111, and C-130.

The AN/ALQ-131 is a U.S. electronic countermeasures container created to help protect the aircraft against radar threats. Mounting it under an aircraft adds consistent detail to depictions of operational missions and to dioramas dedicated to modern military aviation.

The 3D-printed parts require careful handling when removing them from the supports. A light preparation of the attachment points, followed by gluing suited to resin parts, allows them to be integrated neatly into the model. A fine primer then makes it easier to paint and to check the surface before finishing.
