                  pictures of my magnets i placed underneath the sail. I hope i never have to see it work either,:eek: caused by some one running me over me. Thats were i need torpedos ,first person to run me over and i sink them ha ha !!!

                  ps there is no pictures, but i drilled a lot of the plastic out underneath the sail on top of the deck to let the air out when it submerges. Plus theres a hole underneath the sail itself to let any air out also. You can't see it but it's there should serv its purpose well.

                        different shots of the sub painted with a simi gloss finish. which later i did not like. You will see further into my post's the final product is flat like the real gato submarine is no shine.
