SUU-23 20mm gun pod (close gun bay) for McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II (USAF) (1 pcs) (3D Printed) Scale 1:72 ResKit RS72-0471

ResKit RS72-0471 represents the SUU-23 20mm gun pod (close gun bay) for the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II (USAF) in 1/72. Produced in resin & 3D printed material, the set focuses on the compact external pod shape and defined panel layout characteristic of this configuration.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

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

Centerline gun pods are a prominent feature on certain F-4 setups, and their proportions influence the overall balance of the aircraft when displayed with external stores. Refining this component can noticeably improve the underside profile without altering the airframe.

For modelers: test-fit the pod to the centerline station before painting (kit-dependent). Keep the cylindrical body true while removing 3D printing supports, and check alignment from both side and front views to ensure the pod sits straight along the fuselage centerline.
