Have fun and enjoy guys...I' think I'll take a pass on this one.  got too many irons in the fire and the fire is not getting stoked with enough wood right now to support even them.

I'm going to wait for awhile. As much as I really want one, I have to wait..I have to pay for a trip to Italy so I need to pinch pennies..but then, it's clear the deck!

I'm in Australia so won't see one for awhile (I've pre-ordered local, just as easy as buying overseas), but I'd sell my soul for one, it's awesome!

Well, I'm happy to report that my account has been charged for my pre-ordered Gato today, so I imagine it will arrive in a few days.

Sorry Gator - that's how it started - my mate told my wife she should watch out for me taking the model to bed, and was proud and happy to burn that image in her head.
So of course my wife and I looked at each other and ran for the camera...
Mr Mox - the sub sure does look nice! Just deduct me from the pic. And get one yourself!
Sorry to have disturbed!
PS - Classic Warships $28 - Gato is a FINE bok with heaps of great pix, clear and interesting, well aimed at the modeller, highly recommend!

I've been hiding the fact that I'm already spending as much time with Gato (researching 

 ) as with VIIC building...then there's my wife, she wants to spend precious modelling time with me too...priorities! (VIIC, Gato, wife, job...nonono, wait aminute...)
