Niels Posted July 4, 2025 Share Posted July 4, 2025 Hi, Pondering on building a Danish C-130H, and have the kit in hand and control on where to get the decals. However the Danish C-130H's carry a wingtip ECM(?) pod on each wing that I don't have clear photos of, but which I would like to replicate. Anyone know if these are available as aftermarket parts? Appreciate any input, thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JEN722 Posted July 5, 2025 Share Posted July 5, 2025 (edited) I believe they were AN/ALR-69 pods. The Dutch might have used the same type. Does this help? Jens Edited July 5, 2025 by JEN722 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted July 5, 2025 Author Share Posted July 5, 2025 Thanks, this is great! Might be possible to scratch build after all🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnEB Posted July 10, 2025 Share Posted July 10, 2025 Could you modify an ALQ-131 pod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted July 11, 2025 Author Share Posted July 11, 2025 The ALQ-131 is much too short and "clumpy" to convert. It might be easier to extend an ECM pod for the F-35 Draken? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The AN/ALQ-131 has a rectangular shape and is different in practically every single way. None of the 'add-on' AN/ALQ pods would be useful. Niels, I can see if I can find a drawing of it. It seems to me I have seen such drawing once, but I will have to check my references. Either way, it should be easy to make it yourself. Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnEB Posted July 12, 2025 Share Posted July 12, 2025 I know the ALQ designation would not mean they are identical, rather that a spare 131 from the parts box might be a better starting point than some round sprue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted July 15, 2025 Share Posted July 15, 2025 Niels, If it is any help, I am scratching a set for my planned KLu 1/144 C-130H-30 build. I am using plastic sheet and rod, nothing fancy. In 1/72 and 1/48 scales, more detailed analysis may be required to accurately depict it. Jens, I would appreciate a set of drawings as well, please. Kind regards, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JEN722 Posted July 16, 2025 Share Posted July 16, 2025 So far I have been unable to locate some drawings. I will keep looking. Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
