Quinta Studio QT48011 AN/APS-4 Radar Pod (All kits) 1/48

The Quinta Studio QT48011 AN/APS-4 Radar Pod set in 1/48 scale is an exceptional add-on for military aircraft models from the World War II era and the early post-war years. The AN/APS-4 is an American airborne radar station designed by Western Electric, widely used by the US Air Force (USAAF and US Navy) on fighters and bombers, including aircraft such as the P-61 Black Widow, P-38 Lightning, B-25 Mitchell, Avenger, and Hellcat. Frequently used during night missions or in poor visibility, the radar greatly increased combat effectiveness in challenging weather conditions and after dark. Its application was crucial in the Pacific and Europe during the final stage of World War II.

Quinta Studio has prepared a precise detail set that allows modelers to equip any 1/48 scale aircraft with a faithfully reproduced, authentic AN/APS-4 radar pod. The set consists of resin components (casting technology provides exceptionally sharp details and authentic texture) as well as photo-etched metal parts (ensuring realistic detailing and durability of even the smallest radar elements). The kit also includes decals with operational markings and fine technical graphics that cannot be replicated by hand.
