There's been a lot of aftermarket sets made for Revell's big U-boats and now RC Sub's latest is PE decking for the Revell 1/72 Gato kit (No. 05047). The Revell Gato was based off the USS Cobia, moored by the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, as she is today in late/post war decking.

When first built, the Gat'os' decks were all of teak wood and later had some of that wood replaced with metal decking. RC Subs' decking brings the kit back a more accurate mid-war appearance. The set is for representing decking immediately around the conning tower and can be used with the Eduard PE set (No. 53028) that represents the metal decking beyond the tower. RC Subs is currently working on a full 'wooden' deck set to represent early war Gato boats.

This set is made up of one PE sheet and sells for 74.00 € in Europe or $84.00 (US) outside of Europe. Available now from the RC Subs site.
