    Gato

    Hello,

    My name is Vicente Pérez Casado (Spain). I would like to commission a custom build of a 1/72 scale US WWII Gato-class RC submarine with the highest possible quality, ready to run and fully tested.

    Here are my requirements:

    Core Build Specifications
    • Scale: 1/72 (approximately 1.32 m length)
    • Hull: High-quality finish, fully painted in US WWII scheme
    • Inmersión: Static dive system (ballast tank with reliable trim control)
    • Lights: Installed scale lighting (navigation lights, conning tower detail lighting)
    • Electronics: Fully installed and waterproofed
    • Radio System: Preferably Futaba with appropriate receiver
      • If Futaba is not feasible, please recommend an equivalent high-end option for submarine use

    Testing & Verification
    • I request a recent in-water test video showing:
      • Surface movement
      • Dive
      • Neutral buoyancy
      • Return to surface
    • Include documentation/photos of the internals (WTC, ballast systems, servos)

    Packing & Delivery
    • Professional packing for international shipping to Spain
    • Insurance for transport
    • Tracking number provided

    Pricing & Timeline
    • Please provide a total price estimate (including build, electronics, packing, and shipping)
    • Estimated build time if starting from scratch

    Contact
    I am flexible with budget for a high-quality build and willing to pay milestones if necessary.

    Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to your quote.

    Best regards,
    Vicente Pérez Casado
