Eduard 648363 AN/ALQ-131 (shallow) ECM pod 1/48 is an exceptionally detailed model kit designed for all aviation enthusiasts and aircraft model builders in 1:48 scale. The presented ECM (Electronic Countermeasures) AN/ALQ-131 pod comes from the renowned Brassin series by Eduard, the Czech company, and is made of high-quality resin parts. This particular model portrays the “shallow” version of this popular electronic warfare system.

• The presented ECM pod was widely used by the United States Air Force and NATO countries on numerous combat aircraft such as the A-7 Corsair II, A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-4 Phantom II, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-111 Aardvark, and C-130 Hercules.
• The AN/ALQ-131 systems were introduced into service in the 1970s and have been operated up to modern times, including during conflicts such as the Gulf War, the Balkan War, and numerous NATO operations.
• The Eduard 648363 model kit consists of three precisely cast resin parts, ensuring excellent surface detail, accuracy, and ease of assembly. The set also includes decals to replicate stencils and technical markings, allowing for a result that closely matches the real ECM pod installation.
• No photo-etched parts or painting masks included, making the kit relatively easy to assemble and aimed at both intermediate modelers and demanding collectors who seek a high level of realism.
