I'm interested in building a cutaway sub model...something I've never
done...and to top it off, I'm mostly a model car builder so I'm not
very familiar with what kits would fit the bill.
The kit doesn't have to currently be in production...I don't mind
looking. I'd just like to hear what folks have to say about which kit
might be best (or offer the most potential). Although I haven't built
but a few ships, I have been modeling for a long time, so I'm not
afraid to tackle a kit with a few challenges.

Thanks all!
Charles

There is a new 1/72 scale kit for a German U-Boat from Revell Germany.
Someone on here or the ship model discussion group on Hyperscale can
steer you to an outfit that makes a couple of sets of resin interior
parts for it. Warning, you are talking big $$ here but this is one route
to go.
