Historical description: The GPU-5/A pod, equipped with the four-barreled GAU-13/A cannon, was developed as armament for various types of attack aircraft. It was most notably used by the United States Air Force, including on F-16, A-10, and some versions of the F-4 Phantom II. It gained particular acclaim as a solution enhancing firepower in close air support (CAS) missions. The GPU-5/A was used especially intensively during Operation Desert Storm (1991), where it played a key role in attacks on ground targets and enemy armored vehicles.

Product advantages: The GPU-5/A model produced by RESKIT features an increased level of detail – thanks to 3D printing, every aspect, from cooling holes to the pod frame, has been perfectly replicated. The component requires basic assembly and painting, allowing the model to be tailored to a specific version or personalized project. This product is particularly recommended for advanced modelers and all who value authenticity of detail in aircraft modeling.

Assembly difficulty level: 3/5 – some experience working with resin kits and modeling paints is advisable. This kit will make an excellent addition to both dioramas and individual models of modern fighters and combat support aircraft.
