The Sorbtsiya jamming pod for the Su-33 in 1:72 is a printed accessory for models of Russian carrier fighters. An airplane model it is not.
Responsibility details are not available.
A detail set from the Russian manufacturer Temp Models in 1:72 scale, printed from photopolymer. The contents are the pod of an electronic warfare suite that the Su-33 carrier fighter carries on its wingtips. The set fills out a finished kit and does not make up an aircraft model on its own.
According to the manufacturer, Sorbtsiya is an electronic warfare suite meant to suppress target-tracking radars and the semi-active radar seekers of anti-aircraft missiles. In other words, it is to prevent the defenses from holding the fighter in their sights and guiding a missile onto it. The pods are carried on the wingtips, where one of them usually acts as the receiver and the other as the transmitter of the jamming signal.
The parts are printed from photopolymer, so thin print supports are left on them. Cut them away with a sharp scalpel or photo-etch nippers and sand the pad they leave with fine abrasive paper. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, that is with super glue, because polystyrene cement has no effect on this material. Lay down a filler primer before painting; it will at the same time reveal any remains of the supports. Sanding is best done wet and with respiratory protection.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
