Well it "sounds" like you have done an incredible job😉 - of course, a few pictures would be a help so we all can go crazy and praise you skill and determination 🙂😄😄

ps scratch building new details will become a habit - don't ask how I know😎

Yes, thanks, trying to get photos up this morning. Loaded them from my phone last night and they were upside down!

Thanks all! Holger I have pics of the 5" gun before I painted it, and maybe a primer pic laying around, but nothing other than that.

Nice work - I guess it is scale 144?!

Christian - it is box labeled 180, but I read somewhere it's technically 178. Used to be mislabeled 220!

Album info

Bought this to make USS Clamagore, then realized it was a poor Gato depiction and not really a Balao. So I tried to convert it and decided just to stick to the Lionfish but make it right within reason. So I didn't do deck handrails. I also kept the .50 cal mounts in their place. But I redid the conning tower railings, masts, and modified the 5" gun.... No means perfect and still loads of inaccuracy but my first attempts at scratchbuilding were definitely interesting!
