Responsibility details are not available.
A resin detail accessory in 1:48 scale from the Czech maker Brengun. It is not a model of an aircraft, but a set of small parts with which you replace or complete the simplified parts of a base kit. The set depicts flare dispensers of the AN/ALE-39 and AN/ALE-47 types in the release used by the US Navy and Marine Corps. Before buying, compare the shape and position of the dispensers on your model; the number of parts in the package is given on the packaging.
Flare dispensers are an element of an aircraft's passive defense. They fire chaff, which confuses radar, and flares, whose heat signature draws away seeker heads reacting to infrared radiation. The AN/ALE-39 is an older system with a fixed cartridge load, the AN/ALE-47 is a newer programmable set in which the sequence and the kind of countermeasures fired are chosen according to the situation. The installation tends to be in panels on the underside of the fuselage or in pods, and the number and arrangement differ from type to type as well as according to the particular modification of a machine.
First wash the resin parts in warm water with a drop of dish soap, so that they are rid of mold release agent residue - otherwise the paint will not hold. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a thin cutting disc and do not break them off; when sanding resin, protect your breathing and sand wet, because the dust is fine and irritating. They are attached with cyanoacrylate glue, ideally a gel one, which gives time to align the part. Apply a thin layer of primer before painting; the cartridges themselves usually differ from the surrounding surface in shade and in being somewhat less dusty than the skin of the aircraft.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
