Revell 1/72 Gato-class sub build review
Posted by PipePlayer on Saturday, December 29, 2012 10:01 AM

Hey guys,

I got this model for Christmas and am looking for an in-depth construction review of the kit.  Can any of you guys point me in the right direction??

Thanks in advance!!

i just finished the kit and i must say, for Revell Germany, i'm disapointed.  the flashing was everywhere and i had to clean up every part from seam lines but it did build into a nice model of the boat and you will be prouid of it if you are willing to put in the work.  Good luck.

I built this kit last year & mine had virtually no flashing. Revell of Grmany did how ever go down in my estimation for their Kenworth W-900. (The red one)
