Hello Alex,
I thought I'd give you a shout-out regarding the SSY( scale shipyard) 1:48 scale Gato hull you have for sale. I'm not sure if you had initially wanted to build this boat and found it too large a task, or simply lost interest because of time constraints, however, If you do not find a buyer, and are still remotely interested in moving forward with the build, I certainly would be willing to help you out in whatever way I can.
I have built this boat as an R/C submarine, and have detailed instructions which may help get you through much of it.
The decision rest with you as I realize there is no doubt a lot of work to be done, and not sure if you merely acquired the hull and other such equipment offered as part of your sale, or obtained and assembled the various accessories when initially interested.
In any regard, it appears that a good bit of work has already been completed. eg flood holes deck guns, etc. quite well. : )

Best regards,
Al Nuci
