ALQ-131

Does anyone make an ALQ-131 pod in 1/32 scale?

Flightpath makes a resin deep pod with etched details. I understand there is also a shallow pod in the Trumpeter F-18E.

Thanks. The F-18E doesnt even carry the ALQ-131 does it? I wonder why it comes with that particuliar kit.

No, the Super Hornet is not cleared for the ALQ-131.

Because Trumpeter makes common weapons sprues that they spread out over a number of kits. Not all of the weapons in the box apply to the particular subject. Plus, I'm not sure Trumpeter really knows in may cases what's actually cleared on a particular aircraft.
