get the proper two-motor SD for the GATO. I do have a question, I ordered a EZ SD for my 1/96 Alpha submarine that I bought from a person on this website and Im curious if I could use that system, which is a single prop, and convert it to a Gato SD? I mean can the "motor" part be exchanged and use one WTC/SD for both subs? Or after thinking about it I would imagine the SD for the Gato is not a dynamic SD.Lot's of good dope here on the 1/72 GATO.ĭon't go cheap on us. I then went thru other builds that people have done and saved them to a folder for future reference. I was extremely impressed by the build of Matt for the "I finally started" build of his Gato.

Planning will be key in everything in this build.
So before you go out and buy one of these beauties make sure you have the space and prepare to buy your partner something very nice and probably very expensive to make up for the disruption!! I am fortunate in having a large purpose built ‘den’ for my modelling but as you can see it takes up all the available space on my build table. The kit isn’t difficult but will need very careful planning. You can see it against a regular pot of Revell and Tamiya Paint and my latest 1:72nd scale Holland Class Sub.
