I'm looking forward to changing my main interest from science fiction to sub's and dinosaurs. Any place I could find some decent sub's to learn on? Thanks. Jim

http://www.papercraftsquare.com/?s=submarine Looks like they have about 15 pages of them! 
but they tend to stop at page 8 and go into ASW stuff and things that are in NO WAY related to submarines ... so really just 8 pages...

Kingfish right? This is a ww2 boat? Is GATO class enough to define it? I found one that Gandolf posted on page 7, its PDF files that have to be downloaded individually. Just to chew on, I will start on that search tomarrow, I just shut every thing down, and I'm on my kindle. Since that's the type I was looking for I might as well do the Kingfish. Maybe a Nazi wolf pack too. I'm sorry Ron! I completely blew it on the bridge so far. I need to get a clamp with magnifying glass. Harbor freight I guess. It a great bridge model folks, justly my fumbling fingers are to blame.

The Gato turned into the Balao class. These are the definitive WWII subs . Gatos were a little more rare, which is why I wanted to design one. Note that this drawing only shows the pressure Hull, not the outer skin.

Pampanito Balao Class. The link provided has enough to build the real sub methinks.

I did see where Metal Magic Fascinations has a cut away submarine model(I know it's not card) muh like the old Revell? kit I built when I was a kid. But it looks waaaay smaller.
