RESKIT RS32-0486 SUU-23 20mm gun pod (close gun bay) for British Phantom (RAF & RN) (1 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/32

RESKIT RS32-0486 is a high-quality accessory for 1/32 scale models depicting the SUU-23 20mm gun pod, designed specifically for the British versions of the F-4 Phantom II aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. The SUU-23 pod, equipped with the six-barrel M61 Vulcan gun, was one of the key pieces of external armament for Phantoms operated by the UK, especially during the later years of the Cold War. The “close gun bay” version ensures historical accuracy with the authentic configuration mounted under the fuselage of the British F-4M Phantom FG.1 and FGR.2, used both in combat and training from the late 1960s through the late 1980s.

The SUU-23 is a distinctive feature, allowing for an accurate representation of F-4 models that carried out both fighter and strike missions during Cold War tensions. The RESKIT model is characterized by high manufacturing quality, sharp and deep surface textures, with clearly defined bolts, panels, and cooling ducts. Thanks to 3D printing, the model retains the proportions and detailling of the original, making it easy to fit onto Phantom replicas by brands such as Revell or Tamiya.

We especially recommend the RESKIT RS32-0486 set to advanced modelers and collectors seeking premium upgrades that enhance the realism of aviation dioramas or individual British F-4 models. Assembly difficulty is rated at 3/5 – it requires basic experience working with resin parts and skills in precise painting. Perfect for anyone looking to build an impressive replica of a Cold War aircraft!
