Atlantis 1/240 Scale USS Gato Fleet Submarine

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit. The Gato-class submarine uses both a diesel engine and an electric motor, and was the main submarine used by the U.S. during World War II. The 77 Gato-class submarines were charged with disrupting Japanese and German trade routes, delaying the transportation of strategic supplies, and cooperating with fleet operations, becoming a behind-the-scenes player in victory. This model kit was originally released by Verney in 1945, and then by Lindberg in 1953; now it's back thanks to Atlantis Models! A stand and decals are included. [Size]: 39.4cm long when completed [Includes]: Decals, stand for display
