usmcski6502 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Greetings! Does anyone know of a GPU-2 gun pod in either 1/48 or 1/32? With nearly every Marine AH-1 available in 1/48, a big Bronco in 1/32 and soon to be another in 1/48, I wonder why this pod hasn't been produced? I'll have to check dimensions, but I wonder if I could make one out of a SUU-23. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

ziggyfoos Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I don't believe I've seen OV-10s use that pod other than that China Lake trial that those photos were taken. USMC and USN OV-10 carried the single barreled 20mm (called "GPU-2" by VAL-4 records). This is a completely different gun than the GPU-2/A you're referring to. Here are some examples of the single barrel pod in SEA on both USMC and VAL-4 OV-10s.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziggyfoos Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Forgot to actually answer your question! I'm not aware of either of the pods being available in scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
usmcski6502 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thanks for the reply Ziggy! I wonder if I can modify a SUU-23 or a drop tank or something. At any rate, thanks! Ski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
