GPU-5/A 30mm gun pod (1 pcs) (A-4, A-7, AV-8B, F-4, F-5A, F-16, F/A-18) (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0138 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0138 is a 3D printed GPU-5/A 30mm gun pod (1 pc) for 1/48 aircraft builds. The pod shape is a focal point when carried on a centerline or pylon station, and this set is intended to provide cleaner edges and a more consistent profile than many kit-supplied pods.

This upgrade is useful when you want the external store to look sharper under primer and paint, especially around the pod body lines and mounting interface (fit and station choice are kit-dependent).

For modelers: dry-fit the pod to your intended pylon before painting and true the mating face so it sits level; if your kit uses shallow attachment points, add a small locating pin to improve alignment and handling during finishing.

FAQ

Is the pylon or mounting hardware included?

The set is described as the gun pod only (1 pc). Pylons and mounts are typically taken from the kit or a separate set, and fit is kit-dependent.

How do I confirm the best mounting position on my model?

Dry-fit the pod on the intended station and check clearance with gear doors and nearby stores. Station options vary by aircraft and kit.

How should I prepare 3D printed parts before painting?

Remove any supports carefully, lightly sand attachment points, then wash the part before priming to improve paint adhesion.
