From Meteor comes a Vietnam era set of jamming pods.  The sets are all resin and beautifully cast and engraved and are set up for the builder to use a variety of options.  These include several types of antennas, both long and short as well as two types of power supplies, one internal to the plane and the other a RAT (ram air turbine).  Also include are the resin parts to convert the pods to the short tailed version used in F-4’s.  Once you’ve decided which version to make, construction takes just a few minutes of the cutting and gluing.  Meteor dark gray resin is the best; it cuts clean with minimal dust and is tough enough to take a beating during the cutting process.  I have included shots of all the parts including the unused parts and the two built and painted pods with different antenna options.

For the guys who build Vietnam era aircraft, this set is great.  Thanks to Dave Klaus and Meteor for this set and all the great after market items.  Recommended!
