Responsibility details are not available.
This injection-molded plastic kit from the manufacturer Riich Models captures the American ocean-going submarine USS Gato (SS-212) in the configuration of 1942, that is in her early wartime appearance, in 1:200 scale. A small OS2U Kingfisher floatplane is included with the model. The large scale lets the detail of the deck, the conning tower and the armament stand out. The model can be conceived as a full hull or as a waterline.
USS Gato was the lead ship of a numerous class of American fleet submarines deployed in the Pacific during the Second World War. They had a great range and a strong torpedo and deck armament. The 1942 appearance reflects the early wartime configuration of the conning tower with its taller structure, before the later modifications that the submarines received in the course of the war.
In the large scale the cleaning up of the parting line of the hull and the fine assembly of the structures of the conning tower and the guns both stand out. An airbrush and the period shades of American submarines suit the finish; the deck and the detail can be accented with a dark wash. The floatplane included can be built and painted separately as an addition to the display.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
