However, a "new" boat gets what is available at the time, hence the MS32 on the New Construction Gato start in January 1943. The Balao is done differently, currently as an experiment, a little later in the year.

Ah ok, I was shocked to see the paint scheme on a boat in Jan 1943 since far as I can tell no boats were painted with it that early. General impression I gained when researching was M/S 32 first appeared in Fall 1943 and became common in Spring 1944. Tang for example had M/S 9 black/gray paint job from her entering service in Fall 1943.
Anyways no big, just thought would make sure. I can change it for my personal install.
