This new resin set from Cutting Edge Modelworks includes one ALQ-71 Jamming Pods for the F-4 Phantom used in Vietnam.  The parts include all you'll need to make one ALQ-71 in the most common configurations of the first jammers used when the USAF flew into heavily defended airspace inside North Vietnam.  The  ALQ-71's were used from 1966 to about 1972.  There were 4 different antenna blades used on the ALQ-71and 2 of each of these antenna are included in this set.

The resin casting is very good and the detail is very well done.

There is one page of instructions which includes text and line drawings to help you with all the info you need to install these pods and their different configurations.  If you're building a 1/32 F-4 Vietnam era kit, then this set from Cutting Edge Modelworks will provide help you complete your Vietman era Phantom.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
