Thanks for stopping by to ask "What IS behind the opening"! I have had a 1-72nd Revell Gato in my stash for a LONG time. I have done their U Boat in 1/72nd and had a blast! Gotta admit, its the first "Boat" in all my years that I have ever built. But anyway, does anyone have any idea where I can find photo's or if there is someone that has the answer to ....whats inside the bow openings behind the dive planes??? It can't be empty as no photos that I have found make it appear that its just open space. Revell supplies a nifty little enclosure for the opening farther forward but this is TOO big to just leave open! Anyone that has info ...please let me know, I will really appreciate it !!!!

Look here....many line drawings:
