The Gato class of submarine was the state of the art in American design at the start of World War II
and bore the brunt of the fighting against Japan during the war.
They were fast, strong, heavily armed and well-suited to the long range patrols necessary
in the Pacific. They were generally over 300 feet in length, which means our new
Revell 1:72 scale kit will be roughly 52 inches in length!
While still being tooled, you can expect a massive, world-class model replica with at least 250 to 300 parts.

The Basics of Scale Modeling

Were you a teenager the last time you built a model?
A step-by-step introduction to scale modeling basics.
Beginning scale modelers are full of questions:
What kinds of models are there? What kinds of tools
do I need? What glue works best?
How do I put a model together?
How are the decals applied?
Finally, Kalmbach offers answers to
all these beginner questions and more.

Lets say you want a crew for your submarine here is my idea.
Revell makes unpainted German Naval Figures if you paint
and trim them as American seaman it will look great on your boat.
Think out-of-the box, not what's on the box.
