Ha, ha, first default question for this review is, “is it durable? “ Well, probably not because it’s a plastic model, so no, this is not a bath toy...well that would last anyways. Pretty nice model, huge. And even better with the aftermarket goodies you can find to add more detail. Just be sure to have plenty of glue and plan ahead for gluing up some pretty big pieces. I gave it a 5 star review because there’s nothing I’ve found to compare it to... at least this type of sub... there’s plenty of complaints about the I35 from Lindberg, not being accurate, etc., but no one else makes them, so what does one do? Is this Gato class like a Tamiya? Not quite, but again very nice. Just make sure you have a large area to place this thing and patience, and there are large areas to work with so look at some old photos of the real subs so you can mimic what the areas looked like on the real subs. Best of luck. Good model and good price for its size.Read full review

first of all the reason I put no for durable is because it's a model , now for my review this is awesome model to put together and to proudly display this whether it's in your office or at home people will enjoy seeing a model of this caliber especially if it's built right ? I know I enjoyed this model because building is bringing back a piece of history and even when I was building it I had to look into the history and read about these type of submarines which was more than interesting it was very educational so I highly recommend this model and the joy it will bring on proudly displaying and like I said you'll find yourself researching stories and information about the submarines during World War II

Having served in a Gato class boat I see a few things that aren't quite accurate. However, though I'm just going by pictures and haven't received the model I ordered I find it very nice, and for the most part pretty much as it should be.

Smaller and older kits of this subject just did not have the detail this kit has. I watched the TV show Silent Service as a kid and have always been interested in these boats and the men who served on them. This model will have a proud display in my man cave.

The model was a great value, and it has excellent detail. It is also an excellent kit to convert to radio control.
