1/700 USS Gato, 1944 (Hobby Boss)
Ive enclosed photos of a recent build, the Hobby Boss 1/700 USS Gato, 1944. The kit was built using the Tom's PE detail set, a Niko twin 40mm gun modified to make it a single, a brass barrel for the deck gun, scratch built periscopes, a Gold Medal 20mm AA gun, and caenis line rigging. I used Floquil paints for the 3-tone late war camo scheme. The kit is really nice, and makes a good representation of a late war Gato.
