[StartQuote] The Gato kit is modeled after the USS Cobia SSN-245. In 1943 coming out of the barn she would have sported a 3 in/50 deck gun. Here's an example... http://nautilusmodels.com/72-057.htm It was replaced 1943-1944 with a 4" deck gun which it carried into 1945 when it was replaced with a 5 in/25 gun which you see in all the Hollywood movies. You can see it in this photo. http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0824515.jpg You don't need anything after market for this boat if you don't want to. In fact I would go so far as to say that the kit guns are better than the aftermarket options I've seen. They are very nicely done. The entire kit is very nicely done. That 80' Elco is going to be dwarfed by the sub. It will be fun to see this one come along. Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
