About product

An ordnance crew with an SUU-23 pod, 1:32 scale

A more extensive figure subject for large aircraft models. The name describes American mechanics with a 20 mm SUU-23 gun pod resting on a transport trolley and, according to the name, distinguishes it as the first scene; a British counterpart of the same subject exists as well.

What the SUU-23 gun pod was

The SUU-23 is a mounted pod with a 20 mm rotary cannon. It came about at a time when it became clear on jet machines armed exclusively with guided missiles that a gun still makes sense for close combat and for work against ground targets. It was usually carried on a fuselage pylon, and handling it called for a trolley and several people, because the pod is heavy and awkwardly long. The mention of an open and a closed gun bay in the designation refers to the rendition of the pod itself.

How to paint the scene

The uniforms of ground personnel tend to be faded, so lighten the base shade straight away and only then add a darker tone into the seams. The metal parts of the trolley will take stippled rust and oily smears, which belong around weapons equipment. Leave the pod itself matte and only polish the leading surfaces gently with graphite. Try the arrangement dry, so that the figures hold their working distances before you reach for the glue.

Who the subject is for

  • for builders of large models of Cold War fighter-bombers
  • for makers of scenes from an airfield and the preparation of a machine for action
  • for modelers who enjoy figures at work rather than in a pose
  • for collectors who are adding a narrative scene to their display case

FAQ

A mounted housing with a rapid-firing gun, which an aircraft received where it lacked built-in armament. It was most often hung under the fuselage.

American combat machines of the late 1960s and the 1970s best of all, that is, the generation on which the pod was commonly carried. The particular type of aircraft does not follow from the designation of the item, though.

Yes, reckon on the painting being up to you. An ordinary modeling palette and one dark filling shade for the folds will do.
