RESKIT RS72-0419 AN / ALQ-101 ECM POD (LONG LENGTH VERSION) (3D PRINTED) 1/72

The RESKIT RS72-0419 AN / ALQ-101 ECM POD (Long Length Version) set in 1/72 scale is a professional model accessory intended for demanding aircraft modelers. This product was designed by the renowned company RES/KIT and manufactured using 3D printing technology from the highest quality resin, guaranteeing highly precise detail reproduction and durability.

The AN/ALQ-101 ECM Pod is an American electronic countermeasures (ECM) pod, introduced into service in the United States and with NATO allied countries during the Cold War and later. Its main purpose was to jam enemy radars and air defense systems, providing increased safety for aircraft crews during combat and reconnaissance missions. The AN/ALQ-101 pod was installed on such aircraft as the F-4 Phantom II, SEPECAT Jaguar, F-111, A-7 Corsair II, F-5 Tiger II, Blackburn Buccaneer, and Avro Vulcan.

Jammers from the AN/ALQ-101 family were extensively used during the Vietnam conflict, operations in the Persian Gulf, and numerous NATO maneuvers from the 1970s to the 1990s. The RESKIT set faithfully recreates the longer version of this pod, characteristic of late 20th-century operations, making it an essential addition for dioramas and models representing NATO aviation during the Cold War era.
