I brought this up a while ago.

Interest was so so.

It would be a cool project.

But more people said "No" than "Yes"

So I regulated this to my idea graveyard.

I musta missed the last post about this. May give this a go. I haven't been able to find any ijn subs this small in card form (until now!). Parts look pretty simple too.

first midget sub kit i've seen. 1/48 means about a 2.5:1 enlargement, little bit more. Paper kits are notoriously difficult to get rounded shapes from so the nose will look faceted no mater what you do. You can soak it in krazy glue and sand it to get a better shape. Best to paint it rather than use the printed colour and detail. It will come out a bit fuzzy after enlarging anyway.

Would be about 4 feet long when completed....not really so midget afterall.

edit....the nose isn't the shape i thought it was so it would be a fairly easy kit to make. Has to be downloaded. Don't see a price anywhere.

yes me too.....i didn't realize it was free. Good deal.

Not sure what to do next....i don't have a printer. Guess i could put them on a disc and take them to a print shop for printing out.
