Project Gato: 1/72 scale fleet boat

[Ivan Putski]

Neal, that is a very nice kit, I`ve been looking into it myself, and all the after market parts available for it. Still have`nt finished my 1/72nd scale Type VII U-Boat, but when I do. my next project will be the Gato. You`ll love using the airbrush. Puts

Im sitting comfortably in my front row seat, and watching this beast taking shape.
Im sure its going to look nice when finished.
Have fun building it Neal.
Im hoping for lots of pictures, and frequent updates.

PS: Im moving this weekend, so my project is still on hold.

I have been looking at it for a we while now and I just can't decide. I feel I will buy it and start it and then i'll just have the can't be assed modelling feeling lol
Good luck with your build and I can't wait to see the finished product

Very happy to hear that your crew has made it to the construction site. And, that airbrush is really nice. Now, you're triply-obligated to build that monster!

So will the crew supervise all construction ?

I've been waiting for a build thread of the Gato to come along! Good luck with the build! Seeing threads like this make me want to start building models again. Maybe someday...

Btw, the Gato on that model box looks just like the Gato in stock SH4! :hmm:

Well, at first they didn't show much interest in the sub's construction, they seemed to spend too much time drinking in the bar and chasing the dolls. But I had a talk them them and reminded them that the Japanese are not known for their hospitality towards prisioners. The crew is doing much better now, they are on site every day and are even directing some of the work.
