I have several issues with this model kit. First, is a complete lack of detail. There are no railings at all...even though kits of subs with a smaller scale contain those items. Painting instructions have no relationship to the actual paint scheme of a gato class submarine. Plus, every picture I have seen of the Gato and other Gato class submarines, always have ONE deck gun, this model kit has 2...not sure why

Straight forward easy build model of a World War II era submarine, directions were good too nice detail especially for the price. Did research on the sub and discovered not 100% accurate of the USS Gato (SS-212), but is of the other boats in her class (especially of USS Drum (SS-228)located in Mobile Alabama.)The Gato class consits of over 70 subs. Great photo reference and history of the Gato and other US Navy subs is [..] Highly recommed this kit for beginner or itermediate builder. Build time was about one weekend including painting.

I was very unhappy with this product. I received this and also one other one from this company and was very disappointed in both.
