AFV Club SE73509 1/350 US Navy Gato Class Submarine 1941

Model Kit

Experience the beginning of America’s most influential World War II submarine class with this highly detailed 1/350 scale model of the U.S. Navy Gato-class submarine in its 1941 configuration. Entering service just before the United States’ entry into World War II, the Gato class introduced a new generation of fleet submarines designed for long-range Pacific operations, combining powerful torpedo batteries, excellent endurance, and the ability to conduct extended patrols far from home waters. These submarines would become the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s undersea campaign, playing a critical role in cutting Japanese supply routes and challenging enemy naval forces throughout the Pacific. The early 1941 configuration captures the submarine before many wartime modifications, preserving the original appearance of the class as it entered service.
