This resin set from Eduard is part of the Brassin series and is available directly from Eduard Model AccessoriesThis set includes one Sniper ATP Advanced Targeting Pod in 1/48 scale.

The Lockheed Martin Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod is a single, lightweight targeting pod with much lower aerodynamic drag than the systems it replaces. Its image processing allows aircrews to detect, identify and engage tactical-size targets outside the range of most enemy air defenses, giving it a crucial role in the destruction of enemy air defense missions. The pod's FLIR allows observation and tracking through smoke and clouds, and in low light / no light conditions. It also supports urban engagements beyond jet noise range for counter-insurgency operations. It offers a 3-5X increase in detection range over the older LANTIRN system, and is currently flying on U.S. Air Force and multinational F-16, F-15, B-1B, CF-18, Harrier, A-10, B-52 and Tornado aircraft in service with USA, Norway, Oman, Poland, Pakistan, Singapore, Canada, Belgium, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Thailand.
