SUU-16A 20mm gun pod (close gun bay) with centerline Pylon for McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II (C,D) (1 pcs) (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0469 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0469 is a Weapons Set for the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II (C,D) in 1/48, featuring an SUU-16A 20mm gun pod (closed gun bay) with a centerline pylon. The set is useful when you want a clean, well-defined centerline store with sharper panel lines and more consistent pod geometry than many kit parts.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/48 scale aircraft models.

This upgrade becomes a focal point on the underside of the F-4 because the pod sits on the centerline and stays easy to see from most viewing angles. Mounting points, pylon fit, and store spacing can vary between kit toolings, so final installation is kit-dependent.

For modelers: remove 3D print supports with a fine saw, then dry-fit the pylon to the fuselage centerline before committing to glue. Check alignment from the front and side views to avoid a visible tilt; prime early to catch any remaining support marks before paint.

FAQ

Will this set fit any 1/48 F-4 kit?

It is intended for 1/48 F-4 Phantom II (C/D) builds, but centerline mounting points and pylon interfaces vary by kit. Dry-fit first and treat final installation as kit-dependent.

How do I avoid a tilted centerline pod?

Test-fit the pylon and pod together, then check alignment from the front and side views before glue. Adjust the contact surface gradually so the store sits centered and level.

How should I prepare 3D printed parts for painting?

Remove supports carefully, lightly sand contact points, then prime early to reveal any remaining support marks before final paint.
