drake122 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Greetings, I have recently seen sprue pictures of this armament set, https://www.scalemates.com/kits/101567-icm-72212-soviet-air-to-air-aircraft-armament ... and it seems parts no. 12 and 13 are halves of a ECM pod - Sorbtsiya?? They are unmarked in the directions sheet and as far as I know not mentioned anywhere as parts of the offering. Anyone who owns this set able to verify? Thanks in advance.

Update: sorry, I was mistaken, it's not the same set. Disregard. Original reply: I think I have the first incarnation of this set, by Aeroteam: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/249880-aero-team-soviet-aircraft-weapons-set If it is the same set, parts 12 and 13 are most likely the body of a rocket pod. Just next to it there's part 14 that is clearly the front half, with the launch tubes. There are more rocket pods on the same sprue. The set has no instructions by the way.

drake122 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Ok, so to answer my own question, they are indeed ECM Sorbtsiya pods, since the entire sprues provided in this weapon set are copied from the ICM Su-27 kit https://www.scalemates.com/kits/142713-icm-72221-su-27-flanker Now they may look trash when compared to the Wolfpack aftermarket offering, or even the ones in the Trumpeater Su-30MKK kit, but they are certainly the cheapest option in this scale out there.
