Hello,

I'm finishing up my Barb build of the 1/72 Revell Gato and am having some trouble finding the exact paint schema. Everything I've seen through books and the net show that it has the black decking up top with gray sides, is that correct.

I also understand that the US Navy did not mark their subs during WW2 with their ship numbers.

edit:
Sorry, I forgot to add that I did find this site:
http://www.shipcamouflage.com/gato_class.htm
And it shows that it uses Measure 9, which is all black and dark gray, but this goes against what I've seen in the photos, granted they are b/w.

Thanks for any help or picture references.
