Hi everyone,
New to the forum so just wanted to say hi to everyone.
I have just bitten the bullet after months of slyly keeping one eye on the Revell Gato and bought it (Just waiting for parcel force to deliver). Im aiming to make it into a fully working model so have been reading with very much interest the posts here.
I have already decided to purchase one of the DE systems - I want to do this right and have many years of use out of this boat, so I figure the DE system is the way to go.
I might have to make a few mods along the way as some of the equipment widely available in the US is not standard here in jolly old England! Things such as radio gear etc but other than that I will be buying exclusively from Caswell etc.
I have always thought that the Gato/Balao class were some of the most visually appealing warships ever devised - forget the point for a sec that they were designed as ruthless killing machines, they look damn good too.
Will keep everyone updated and no doubt I will be posting lots and lots of questions too!!
Cheers everyone,
Nige
