AN / ALQ-184 ECM pod (long length version) (A-10, F-4G, F-16, C-130) (3D printing) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0412 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0412 is a 1/48 AN / ALQ-184 ECM pod in the long length configuration. The 3D printed part is designed to keep the pod’s cylindrical geometry, panel breaks, and end-cap shapes crisp, which helps it read correctly on a clean modern loadout.

Pods like the ALQ-184 often sit on a centerline or wing station where they are easy to spot from below, so straightness and sharp edges matter as much as paintwork. This long version is useful when your reference setup calls for the extended body length.

For modelers: dry fit the pod to your pylon/adapter before paint and set the correct fore-aft position first (mounting can be kit-dependent). Remove supports carefully around the nose/tail ends, then apply primer to confirm the seams and edges stay uniform.

FAQ

How do I confirm I need the long length version?

Check your reference loadout or kit instructions for pod length and station placement. If your project calls for the extended body, this set matches the long configuration.

Will it fit any 1/48 kit?

It is listed as Any / Universal, but the interface to pylons/adapters can be kit-dependent. Dry fit first and adjust the mounting point to match your kit parts.

Any tips for cleanup on 3D printed pods?

Remove supports in small steps and protect the ends to avoid flat spots. A light primer coat helps reveal any tiny contact marks before final paint.
