1:48 AN/ AAQ-28(V) Litening pod

Litening AN/AAQ-28(V) Targeting Pod 1:48 (Eduard Brassin)

A resin casting of the underwing AN/AAQ-28(V) Litening targeting pod from the premium Brassin range by Eduard, in 1:48 scale. It is not an aircraft model but a replacement detail accessory - a targeting pod on its own, which is carried under the wing or the fuselage of a modern combat aircraft and thus completes its armament and equipment.

What the accessory is for

The Litening is an electro-optical targeting pod used on a range of modern combat aircraft. It contains sensors for tracking targets and guiding precision-guided munitions by day and by night. The resin version offers fine surface detail of the head and the body of the pod, which once painted and fitted under a pylon will faithfully complete a diorama or display model in 1:48 scale.

Fitting and Painting Resin

• First wash the part in lukewarm water with detergent and remove the remains of the mold release agent
• Separate the casting from the casting block by cutting, not by snapping it off, and clean the surface up
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate, CA)
• Sand with respiratory protection - do not inhale resin dust
• Apply a primer; render the optics of the head with a gloss paint or a clear part, depending on the version

Who the accessory is for

For advanced modelers of modern aircraft who want to complete their model in 1:48 scale with a faithful underwing targeting pod and do not mind working with resin.

This is a replacement detail part, not a model kit. Do not inhale resin dust, work with respiratory protection and in a well-ventilated space.
