When you see the Gato and the Type VIIC together, you really get a good feel of the size of the Gato compare to the Type VIIC  :o

This is excellent work!  I'm very much enjoying it and looking forward to more.

You show Barb with two circular lockers on the port and starboard forward face of the fairwater structure, below the 40 mm gun.  I've been unable to find any pictures of Barb that show this arrangement.  Many later war photos show the starboard one but not the port.  I have a photo dated as late as 7-May-45 that clearly shows only the starboard one.  I noticed you have a photo in this post which shows the twin locker arrangement.  Is this a photo of Barb and, if so, do you know the date?

Regardless, keep up the good work!  Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Regards,
Bob

You are rigth Bob!

There is only one locker! ... It's a problem of lazyness... i'll cut it soon  ::)
I'm waiting to get hands on frontal Modified cygarette deck PE ...The Eduard PE doesn't fitt
SS220 before 1945.... and revell has not the right one too...
There are several errors too yet...
-buoy...  front and rear are different in real BARB (i'll do no change on revell model)
 even because Eduard PE Gato class floor plates  has the same errors...
-near deck cannon... there were 2 small tender sotred under deck and revell and Eduard  lateral profile (atm) are wrong...
-Gato Revell deck is too simply!!! no hatchess... ? (i'll cut all ...just giving a look at the photos)
-EDUARD PE Gato class fuselage hinges plate missed some squared holes... too
-i'm quite sure that Barb before 1945 refit had not propeller guard too (i like with)

SIGH there is soo much work to do on it :)

The Eduard deck is ecellent, but POST-war, with the totally wrong buoys unfortunately. But it should be possible for a man with your skills to make the circular bouy and blend the deck  plates!
