RESKIT RS32-0471 SUU-23 20mm gun pod (close gun bay) for F-4 "Phantom II" (USAF) (1 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/32 is a high-quality, precisely crafted weapon accessory model designed especially for modelers building replicas of the American F-4 "Phantom II" fighter in 1:32 scale. This set represents the SUU-23 20mm gun pod in the "close gun bay" configuration, i.e. the closed version typically mounted under the fuselage of aircraft used by the United States Air Force (USAF).

The SUU-23 was a versatile gun pod equipped with a six-barrel M61 Vulcan gatling cannon, capable of firing up to 6,000 rounds per minute. It was mainly used during the Cold War period, especially in conflicts such as the Vietnam War, where the F-4 Phantom II was the backbone of American tactical air power and air superiority. The SUU-23 accessory addressed the need to equip F-4C/D/E fighters, which were originally not fitted with onboard guns beyond missiles and bombs.

The RES/KIT model is produced using precise 3D printing from high-quality resin, ensuring extremely realistic surface details and structural elements that remain visible even after professional painting and finishing. The product consists of a single pod and requires self-assembly and painting according to the modeler’s preference, allowing full freedom to match any aircraft paint scheme.
