question about EA6A ?

[foxtwo]

Hi all,

just two quick questions about this special bird.....:

first, what are those containers fixed on the folded wings ?

second, in the cockpit...any differences between the A6A or E an EA6A ?

talk about him as i receive the old Revell box at 1/48 in gift..... :D

Thanks in advance !

I'm not sure EXACTLY what you're referring to, so I'll take a guess.

Is the pod on the outside wing station in this picture close to what you have, and is the opening indicated by the arrow something like what you're asking about?

The pods on the o/b pylons of the RM EA-6A kit are ALQ-41 chaff dispensers as seen here

As for the cockpit, check the uscockpits.com site for pics of the EA-6A's pit.

Those are ALE-41 Chaff pods. They used rolled chaff.
