AN / ALQ-184 ECM pod (short length version) (A-10, F-4G, F-16, C-130) (3D printing) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0411 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0411 is an AN / ALQ-184 ECM pod in the short length version for 1/48 aircraft builds. This variant is useful when your reference or kit option calls for the shorter pod body, and you want clean edges and consistent pod geometry from 3D printed parts.

The pod is an external store that can noticeably change the look of the centerline or pylon area, so keeping the length and alignment correct helps the loadout look intentional rather than “generic”.

For modelers: dry-fit the pod to your kit pylon/adapter and check fore-aft position before glue (kit-dependent). If your kit provides multiple pylon styles, test both and choose the one that keeps the pod level when viewed from the side.

FAQ

How do I confirm I need the short length version?

Compare the pod length and end-cap shape in your references and kit options. If your kit includes more than one pod style, dry-fit and choose the one that matches the shorter body profile.

Is this set kit-specific?

The item is listed as Any / Universal, but pylons and adapters vary between kit manufacturers, so final mounting is kit-dependent.

Any tips for clean installation on a pylon?

Mark the centerline on the pylon, then align the pod so it sits level from the side view. A thin primer coat helps spot small sanding marks before final paint.
