However, a short while later Vickers came out with his outstanding & very beautiful interiors - I was stunned at the detail and the lights. I'm searching for those originals now.
During this time I learned from seeing real pictures of interiors that some Balao class had the 450' gauges and the ability to go deeper than 600'. The crew must have determined depth below 450' using a string stretched across the bulkheads.... lol. Most likely they knew their boat and had a 'feel' for the sounds and behavior of the boat near crush depth ... or maybe they just went below the depth charges and hoped.
Long story short I'd be very happy to find Vickers two original interiors for the Gato class from that time period - 2009 +/- and use them for my Tambor, Gar, Gato, & Balao.
Although I would rather find the originals, maybe I will have to reverse engineer and extract them from a supermod? The search continues!
BINGO :) .......
