RESKIT RS72-0471 SUU-23 20mm gun pod (close gun bay) for F-4 "Phantom II" (USAF) (1 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/72

RESKIT RS72-0471 is an extremely detailed and precisely reproduced model of the SUU-23 pod with a 20mm gun, dedicated to modelers building the F-4 "Phantom II" aircraft in service with the United States Air Force. This pod was an important piece of equipment for F-4 aircraft during the Cold War era, widely used in conflicts such as the Vietnam War (in the 1960s and 70s), where it played a key role in arming USAF machines employed as versatile fighters and tactical bombers. The SUU-23, a specialized cannon pod, was equipped with an automatic 20mm M61 Vulcan gun, giving the F-4 "Phantom II" significantly more firepower in both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.
