US Gato Class Submarine Free 3D print model

1/1800th scale Gato-class Submarine model. Certain elements not to scale.

The US Gato-class submarines were the first US mass-produced submarines. 77 total submarines were built between 1940 and 1944. The first submarine was commissioned in 1943, and the class saw some service during the last years of the war.

This model is designed and tested at 1/1800th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/1800th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. The gun barrels and mast have been enlarged.

This is part of my collection of WWII warships, keep an eye out for more to come. If you have a specific request, message me and I'll bump it up my list.

Update 13 Aug 19: Raised waterline closer to historical level.

Tested with PLA at .08mm layer height with .4mm nozzle.
