1/48 scale Gato Class SSY hull and miscellaneous fittings; Thinning the herd

[wlambing]

1/48 Scale Shipyard hull in gray primer. MBT flood ports and fuel ballast tank valves cut-out/engraved per USS Icefish dry docking plan. Comes with; 2-3/16" stainless prop shafts, OTW 4.25" saddles installed, 2 prop shaft "A" struts with Rulon bearings, an Engel Gato Class sail with 'scope shears, Dr. David Tanguay sail watertight lockers and cast resin radar mast, HR deck hatches & cleats, 2- Shapeways 5"/25, Mk 40 gun mounts. Plus, research pictures for USS Hake (SS-256). She was a "Barge Buster" later in her war life. I have had this thing for almost 20 years and just haven't gotten around to doing anything more with it. I got interested in Hake when I was asked to decipher her battle flag that was snagged up from the bottom of Long Island Sound by a fishing boat. Surprisingly, the wool material was in very good condition and the flag is now preserved. This hull also comes with 1 set of cast resin control surfaces and 2 Raebosch LH & RH scale 4 blade propellers.
$750 USD plus shipping (US only).

I can't post pictures here but there will be a set added shortly! Look in the replies below.

Thank you for your interest and consideration, take care,

Bill

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS POSTING a/o 10/04/23. Since there has been no interest, this hull is withdrawn from the marketplace and will likely be fought over by ghouls after my demise! Harken to "A Christmas Carol", the liquidation of Scrooge's estate. :)

Bill,


Don't be disheartened. I think you're at the upper end of value, and not having pictures is a big deal. If you can email them to me, I'll post them up for you. Could make a huge difference in interest.

Is the Skate SSN model in the photos adjacent to Gato for sale? Very Interested in that one.

Gentlemen,

The Skate (gonna be Seadragon SSN-584) has been discussed in a previous thread and is not for sale. Maybe someday, but not currently.

With all do respect, I wish you many long and happy years… but the second I hear you sneeze, I’m poking my head in your shop.

Knowing Dave like I do, I’m sure he already has plans, and family in charge of his property after the big adios. But hopefully, it’s a long time off.

He ain’t going anywhere.
Besides, I’m sure his shop is booby trapped. :)

Bingo, Casey.

You bums think I'm a tough customer?... wait till you have to deal with my kid/executor, Chris!

(Don't fret, my health is excellent, but I'm 74 and would be stupid not to have worked out a plan on how all these magnificent riches I've accumulated are dumped).
