USS Gato (SS-212),
Stock Number: YKM-35036 Price: $60.00
Although small by todays standards, the Gato class of Fleet Submarines were the first to carry the fight to the coast of Japan. They were to all but destroy the Japanese merchant marine in WW II.
The Blue Water Navy kit measures 10.5 inches long. The subs small size does not mean little detail. The deck and sail are reproduced to the exact plans used by Electric Boat. The sail has all the fittings needed to build any Gato class boat of the period. The hull and sail is a single piece casting. Resin dive planes and a photo-etched brass sheet make up most of the boats details.
