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 1:72 ResKit RS72-0138 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS72-0138 represents the GPU-5/A 30mm gun pod in 1/72 scale. This 3D printed set captures the elongated pod body and mounting interface in a compact format suitable for modern and late Cold War aircraft builds.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/72 scale aircraft models.

In small scale, external stores often define the character of a loadout. A dedicated gun pod adds visual weight to the centerline station and introduces surface detail that benefits from careful painting and subtle shading.

For modelers: check the pylon width and mounting point on your kit before final assembly. Lightly sand the contact surface to ensure a flush fit, and align the pod carefully along the aircraft centerline to avoid a skewed appearance (kit-dependent).

FAQ

Is this pod compatible with all listed aircraft kits?

The set is listed as Any / Universal for compatible 1/72 builds, but pylon dimensions and mounting points vary. Test-fit and adjust as needed (kit-dependent).

How should I prepare 3D printed parts?

Wash the part gently to remove any residue before priming. Use thin paint layers to preserve surface detail.

Where should the pod be mounted?

Placement depends on the specific aircraft and configuration. Check references for your chosen variant and align the pod carefully along the intended station.
