1/48 Pod KB early Chaff Dispenser for Draken/Viggen
Product # K4816

Review by Steve Bamford on July 24 2009

 

This new resin 1/48 Pod KB early Chaff Dispenser  by Maestro Models Conversions from Rebell Hobby was used on the S35E Draken, AJ/SH/SF37 and Sk37E Viggen.  This set includes a pod connected to a pylon and 4 photo etch vortex generator fins for the rear of the pod.

To install you simply cut the pod/pylon unit form the casting block.  On the rear of the pod you will need to drill a tiny hole and insert a  metal rod that will need to extend from the rear of the pod by 2.5mm.  Then you attach the 4 PE fins as per the instructions and attach it to your model.  Often using metal pins between the pylon and wing attachment point will insure the pod stays firmly in place. 

The detailing is nicely done as you can see in the above photo. 

The instructions are clear and include 2 photos/drawings to help you to get everything right.
