has anyone seen the film Down Periscope?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116130/

its a comedy but i found it quite good! one Richard might like!

i would love to make a model of the sub used in it.

apperently it was the USS Pampanito (SS 383), a WWII submarine currently (2000) on display to the public at Pier 45 in San Francisco, California.

anyone know if you can get a model of this or one of its class? (World War II Balao class) As i cant seem to find one!

edit: lol i found one!!! http://www.badshipmodels.com/balao.html for about £75!!!!

edit: (seems like im answering my own post before anyone else gets chance here!!!

found this one

http://www.submarinestore.com/models-us.htm

but its a resin kit and i have never used resin before so dont know what its like!!!

i have also found that revell do the USS Lionfish which is the same class, they do it in 1/220 or 1/180 scale.

anyone thing you would be able to get the decals for the "stingray" out of the film? i have no idea where to look for extra decal kits.

any help would be appriciated!
