Eduard 648546 PHIMAT chaff dispenser 1/48 is a high-quality modeling accessory designed for modelers building military aircraft replicas in 1/48 scale. This product is a precisely crafted detail set that faithfully reproduces the PHIMAT chaff dispenser – an equipment component used by air forces including those of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, and others. This accessory is a perfect addition to models of modern fighter jets such as Tornado, Mirage F1, Jaguar, or Phantom II, which were equipped with the PHIMAT pod during the Cold War and in the 1990s.

The original PHIMAT is a French active defense pod introduced in the late 1970s. Its purpose was to dispense radar-countering chaff strips (dipoles), which disrupt enemy radar targeting systems. The PHIMAT was widely used during numerous armed conflicts, including Operation Desert Storm and NATO missions, increasing the survivability of aircraft and their crews in combat missions. PHIMAT is a universal pod, mainly used by NATO member states.
