About product

The D-704 pod for refueling in flight

The accessory represents an external device thanks to which an ordinary combat aircraft became a flying tanker for one sortie. The item describes the early form, which differs from the later versions in details of shape. The 1:32 scale allows even small features on the skin of the pod to be rendered legibly.

How such a device worked

The fuel is passed across by the probe and drogue method: a hose ending in a stabilizing drogue is run out from the tail of the pod, and the receiving aircraft guides its probe into it. At the front a small ram-air turbine turns and drives the reeling mechanism. It is precisely this turbine that makes the pod an immediately recognizable element on a model.

Building recommendation

Plan the extended hose only after weighing up how the model will be displayed, because it is fragile in itself and suffers when a display case is handled. Try the transition between the pod and the pylon dry. In color the device usually kept to the shades of the underside of the fuselage, and crisp markings and warning stripes then add to the credibility.

Who the accessory is for

  • for builders of US Navy carrier aircraft
  • for lovers of scenes with refueling in flight
  • for modelers who collect variants of external stores
  • for a large scale and display cases with room for detail

Use assumes that you already have the model the accessory is to be fitted to.
