Hi Mark
Thanks for sharing it
It really improves the look of the deck - I wonder if in the next releases, Eduard will provide a set with diferent limber holes arrangement?
And the price is fair, too...
Oh my God, here we go on another AM rush ) )
Cheers,
Skipper

Gunny,
Pretty sharp looking. Seems you can have a sub almost all brass after you use all the availible PE. That Gato 1/72 would be a great kit for the people that like the big scales(me).

Frank, Revells's 1/72 Gato is over 4 feet long, mate...a HUGE and quite beautiful model, my friend, and these A/M accessories will greatly enhance the accuracy, and the overall final look...if you're serious about a submarine model, and have the space, this sub's for you...

All this brass looks absolutly wonderful. I fell for it bad when I built my Type VII. The thing was, it really was not a BIG improvement over the detail the kit had. Without being a Cassadra here, but buy the kit and look real close at what the kit provides in the way of detail. There was a lot of cutting and stuff involved when I did the Type VII and if I had it to do all over again, I would have gone OOB becasue the amout of work done and the price for the parts just didn't justify it.
