Hello,

At this time i'm buiding for several month's now on a scratch part of A Gato Submarine.
I'm buiding the last part of the upper construction. The part with the 40mm bofors gun.
Behind the gun build-up for the upper construction. when you look towards it there are two "compartments". One where a tube is placed on the floor at the right side. In the many pictures i'ff collected i can't find any information on the left internal side.
Are there any fellow builders here the can provide me with information about this left side ?
What is placed there ?
Does any one have some pictures of it that he what to share with me ?
The scrach model ( in 1:35, about 25 cm ) is near finished, but this left compartiment is an empty shell.

The tree pics below are from a from a few weeks ago.
to give you all an impression.








all the info you can provide me please send it towards me at the following e-mail adres :

regards

Eric

Wrong forum. You will have better luck on Model Shipwrights.

They can't help you either. I know because I asked there myself once.
However, there's a old saying, "The sun even shines on a dog's @$$ sometimes.
You've stumbled on perhaps the one dude who can help.
I happen to have a whole walkaround of the sail on the Flasher. PM me your email address. I'll try and have my wife send it to you. If all else fails I can do it myself in a few weeks.

Edit: I see you already included you email. I'll send it to my wife.

Its some time since i built my 1:72 gato, so I cant help you on your question, but as far as I can remember - no wartime gatos had doors in the sailsides. they were just open holes.

other than that - awesome work!

I'd try asking over on model shipwrights, I'd've thought they'd know the answers to your questions.

I'm glad they helped.I took them when I attended the Naval War College last year. The Flasher monument was about an hour away, and as I'm building the Flasher myself,nothing beat photos of the actual boat. Not as cool as your scratchbuild though.

Any updates?

HL,

Which tower(sail) are you trying to represent?

Cheers,
joe

I didn't see that this was 35th scale. All of those rivets had to be quite a task.
