About product

AFV Club 1:350 Gato Class Submarine 1941 — a plastic submarine kit

This injection-molded plastic kit from AFV Club in 1:350 scale represents the American ocean-going Gato-class submarine in its 1941 form. According to the instructions it can be built either as a full-hull model on a stand or in a waterline version on the surface. The set also holds photo-etched parts for finer detail.

The real subject

The Gato class was a numerous group of American ocean-going submarines deployed during the Second World War, above all in the Pacific. They were double-hull boats with diesel-electric propulsion, long range and heavy torpedo armament, suited to long-distance patrol cruises. The 1941 configuration matches the early wartime form of the armament and the superstructure.

Building and painting tips

Decide between the full-hull and the waterline variant in advance. Separate the small photo-etched parts with a sharp knife and glue them with super glue, and the plastic parts with liquid modeling cement. Degrease the surface before spraying, use a primer and apply the paint with an airbrush; bring out the deck and the details with a dark wash.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of warships and submarines in 1:350 scale
  • Modelers interested in the US Navy of the Second World War
  • Builders who want a choice between a waterline and a full-hull version
  • More experienced modelers, because of the photo-etched parts

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
