Ahoy Fellow Submariners,

Just some info to share....RoG have announced on their site that the
"American Gato Class" submarine is officially to be released in December 2006.

Also their site now has a new feature...downloadable instruction sheets for
some of their sub and ship kits....and more to come. This was a super idea
on their part. Check it out.

Have a nice day and happy modelling!
Joe

I believe they have pulled into port already, and are being re-deployed as I type this. (That's if you pre-ordered them) Unless Squadron is suddenly charging me $88.96 for something I didn't order......... !!!!! :-) :-)

Ahoy Dave,

Thanks...that's better news. Originally annouced as Oct. then Nov. and finally
Dec. 2006 which means at least Feb here in Canada. Got one on pre-order
via LHS which deals with Sqaudron. So the sooner the better...just can't
wait to see the sheer size of this sub! Got away with the 1:72 U-boats but
this one will need some explaining with the Mrs. :-)

Thanks again for the info,
Have a nice day and happy modelling!

Joe

Very interesting development, my card was charge on the 14th, and I just returned from AMPS EAST, and the charge was refunded... !!! So, maybe it was some sort of clerical error down in Texas.... :-) :-)
