AN / ALQ-131 deep ECM pod Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0394 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0394 is a ECM/Data Link pod set featuring the AN / ALQ-131 deep pod for 1/48 aircraft builds. The part is intended to deliver cleaner pod geometry and sharper panel breaks than many kit-supplied items, making it stand out as a proper underwing store after primer and paint.

Pods are usually mounted where they remain in clear view, so straight edges and consistent cross-section matter. This set helps refine the external stores area without changing the core airframe assembly, while final pylon interface remains kit-dependent.

For modelers: test-fit the pod to your kit pylon early, as attachment points can vary between kits. Remove supports carefully, wash and fully dry the part, then apply a light primer coat to check edge definition; add a small pin for strength if your model will be handled often.

FAQ

Will this pod fit any 1/48 kit without changes?

It is listed as Any / Universal, but pylon shapes and mounting points vary by kit. Test-fit and adjust the contact area as needed before final glue.

How do I prep a 3D printed pod for painting?

After support cleanup, wash the part to remove residue, let it dry completely, then apply a light primer coat to reveal any areas that may need gentle smoothing.

How can I make the mount stronger?

Drill a small pin hole into the pylon and pod and use a short metal pin or stretched sprue to reinforce the joint before gluing.
