My time spent building has been nil for the past year or so, so i thought I'd take on a relatively easy project to try and get back in the swing of things. I'm usually a 1/48 airplane guy, but have built the 1/72 Revell Type VII and I like ww2 subs, so I thought I'd have a go at a Gato.
Trumpeter 1/144 1944 Gato 212 with White Ensign 4"/50, 40mm, and 2 20mm guns. I know the periscope arrangement/sd radar isn't quite right for ss-212 after her 1944 refit, but oh well, close enough for me.
Here's where I'm at, plus 2 shots of the guns placed on the deck. I need to figure out what I'm going to use for the deck rails, glue the conning tower, guns, and remaining odds and ends on, and weather the boat some still.
