One of our Canadian friends brought it to my attention at the 2016 Carmel run that there was a distinct difference in the bows of the US fleet boats. I have been trying to find some straight on side views of the Gato and Balao subs to see this difference, apparently the Gato is much more rounded at the cutwater than the Balao/Tench boats were.
Anybody have a source for a direct comparison?
All 3 of my SSY 1/48th boats are rounded which indicates they are Gato hulls and would need modification to be more realistic Balaos.
The Batfish should be a close build to the Tang.
Thanks
