AN / ALQ-101 ECM pod (short length version) (F-4, Jaguar, A-7, F-5, F-111, Buccaneer, Vulcan) (3D Printed), 1/48 - ResKit Models

The RS48-0420 reference from ResKit Models represents an electronic countermeasures pod AN/ALQ-101 in short version, made to a scale of 1/48. This 3D-printed accessory is intended for detailing a military aircraft model.

The AN/ALQ-101 is an ECM pod, meaning an electronic warfare system carried under an aircraft. This miniature replica makes it possible to add a distinctive external load element to a 1/48 scale project, including models of the F-4, Jaguar, A-7, F-5, F-111, Buccaneer, or Vulcan.

The short version offered by ResKit is suitable for modelers who want to refine the external equipment of an aircraft at this scale. 3D printing allows the pod’s shapes to be reproduced with fine detail; careful preparation of the parts before gluing and painting helps achieve a clean finish.

Before installation, it is recommended to check the exact configuration of the aircraft being modeled, as well as the position of the carry point on the model. Using an appropriate primer then makes painting easier, while a light weathering can bring out the raised details and integrate them into an operational display or a diorama.
