Data Link pod for AGM-142 Popeye Rocket (F-15, F-16, F-4, Mirage 2000, F-111) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0401 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0401 is a 1/48 data link pod for the AGM-142 Popeye, supplied as resin/3D printed parts to add a dedicated external pod option for aircraft loadouts that use this weapon system.

Pods are typically mounted in highly visible positions on pylons, so clean symmetry and a crisp pod profile can make the stores layout look more purposeful than leaving the station empty. Final pylon interfaces and mounting positions depend on the kit and chosen configuration (kit-dependent).

For modelers: decide the pylon station early and test-fit the pod before painting, then keep primer light to preserve panel and edge definition; if your kit uses separate sway braces, check clearance so the pod sits parallel to the airflow line.

FAQ

Will this pod fit any 1/48 kit of the listed aircraft?

It is intended as a universal 1/48 accessory, but pylons, sway braces and station geometry vary by kit. Test-fit and adjust the attachment method as needed (kit-dependent).

Where should I mount a data link pod on my model?

Mounting positions differ by aircraft and configuration. Use your kit instructions and references for the specific loadout you are modeling, then test-fit to ensure the pod sits straight and clears sway braces (kit-dependent).

How do I keep pod surface detail sharp during painting?

Use thin primer and paint layers and avoid flooding panel lines. Light priming also makes it easier to spot any remaining support marks before final paint.
