Try one of the Japanese on line vendors. You are looking for a Fine Molds type A midget submarine kit. 1/72 I think.

That was bound to raise hackles, and you were lucky they didn't behead you on the spot. The only sub that's still under IJN control is the Atragon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atragon A formidable submersible battleship that kicked the Bitch Empress of Mu right in her little red-headed rear: http://www.monstrula.de/filme/u2000tauchfahrtdesschreckens/u2000zeichnung1.jpg http://www.monstrula.de/filme/u2000tauchfahrtdesschreckens/u2000zeichnung2.jpg These plans are secret! You must print them out and eat them after viewing them on your computer! Then you must set fire to the computer!

Paramount out of Quebec did one (a repop of a Japanese toy/model) a long time ago. While the model wasn't the most accurate, the boxart was catching.
