I checked the pictures on the link, and it looks interesting. Sort of like one of those medical models of a heart that you can take apart to see the valves and chambers etc.
Clearly in order to do that, some compromises have been made - check out the thickness of the deck rails for example - but it would nevertheless be a fun thing to have and probably useful as reference for 3D modellers working towards what many people on subsim desire - an explorable interior of their sub. Good find Perdu, thanks for the heads-up Chock

well it clearly not pretend to be an ultra acurate model like plastick tamiya or revell ^^! it's more like anime figures...
in fact it is a gashapon style figure... ie each pieces are randomly packed into boxes so with one box you'll get a random part of the sub. lukily it is possible to buy a fullset box which probabily will content TWO full subs .... on a japan site it is annouced at a price about $62.09 USD; €45.16 Euros, plus shipping costs of curse ... |

They are listed on ebay see http://cgi.ebay.com/Japan-Targa-1-14...QQcmdZViewItem
If it's gone scroll down for other sellers listing the same item. Nemo

Has anybody actually received their's, yet? I am curious as to hands-on perceptions of it. I am interested in being able to stick it on a shelf, and don't want to waste the money if it is a little too cartoony for that. From the pictures it looks like it is a shelfable thing if not a perfect model, but I would just like to hear someone's take who has actually received one.
