Eduard 1:32 AN/AAQ-28(V) Litening pod — resin accessory

This resin accessory in 1:32 scale from Eduard is not a stand-alone model but an external pod, the LITENING (AN/AAQ-28(V)), which can be hung under a modern combat aircraft. The cast resin offers crisp edges and fine details, including the optical head.

The real subject

LITENING is a targeting and navigation pod fitted with an infrared and a television camera and a laser target designator. It allows precise guidance of guided ordnance and is carried by a range of modern combat aircraft around the world. The designation AN/AAQ-28(V) corresponds to its American military code.

Usage tips

First wash the resin parts to remove the remains of the mold release agent, cut the casting blocks away carefully and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). When sanding and cutting resin, protect your airways. The optical head can be brought out with a gloss varnish or with a clear part.

Who the accessory is for

• Modelers of modern combat aircraft who want a faithful targeting pod
• Builders with experience of resin accessories
• Collectors of aircraft armament in 1:32 scale

This is a resin detail accessory, not the model itself. The base kit, the glue and the paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
