Gato Class Sub

[Tracy]

Sorry for the icky pics. We need a new camera. Without flash, they're too dark, and with flash, they're too light.

To give a sense of scale, the base stand is a foot wide (I put a ruler there, but it's hard to see in the pic). At 53 inches long, it's just about 4 and 1/2 feet long...

I couldn't decide which lighting looked better on this one, dark or light so I'm showing them both...

Holy crap...I mean HOLY CRAP!!!! I cant believe how big that frikkin thing is. Looking at this is giving me a serious stiffy! I love it!
Please tell Scott its an excellent build. He did a really great job on it. I cant imagine how much glue and paint would go into something like that. Way to go Scotty!!!!

Is this the sub kit?

I noticed that there are some upgrades for it. It must be popular. Also, the price is right. I cant believe that they can sell a monster like that for about $100 bucks. My Tamiya 1/32 scale F16 was $130 and is no where near that size.
I was gonna do a large sized aircraft carrier like that but had to decide against it because I simply have no place to put it. :(

Once again, nice job Scott!!!

Yep, that's the kit. Nice looking, eh? Scott's not wanting to bother painting it but I think it looks so cool painted. I may just do it for him.

When Scott gets home I'll show him the models you posted. I know he'll love them.
