    Very interesting site! I have to admit that I first checked this topic because of it's rather politically incorrect title (shame on me!)

    Of course you are aware of this new book, but just in case:
    History of IJN SP Submarine

      On the topic of mini

      [color=#000000]On the topic of mini subs, I am looking for information on the torpedoes used in the Type A. I know that the Type 97 was used, but abandoned after Pearl Harbor. I have conflicting information that either the Type 91 (modified arieal torpedo) or the Type 98 was used. I have a few pics that I have found, but any other pics that someone might have would be appreciated. This information is for my 1]

        Hello,

        To aeroengineer1 or anyone else

        Hello,

        To aeroengineer1 or anyone else who could help.
        I am looking for some reasonably good plans of the
        Type-A Ko-Hyoteki. A quick search of the usual
        providers came up empty for me. if someone knows
        any good other resources for research purposes that
        would also be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance!

        Tom

          I am using the Gene

          I am using the Gene Burger drawings. They are great, but as usual there are some details that are lacking. I had to do a lot of research and redraw some things. What are you needing them for? Are you going to do a boat? if so what scale? Here is a link to what I am doing.

            What a totally awesome project

            What a totally awesome project you've got going. Incredible!
            I feel like a kid who brought a model of the solar system made
            from styrofoam balls and coat hangers to the science fair and
            got sit next to a kid with a cold fusion reactor.

            Yes, I was thinking of doing a boat at something near that
            scale as well when my skills have caught up a bit to my imagination. Good Luck she's shaping up to be a real looker.
            Sorry I can't help with your torp inquiry. And If you ever decide
            to pull some hulls for sale I know where you can move one

              [color=#000000]Hi Tom,
              If you are looking for plans you can check the rrawings on my homepage. Not that much of detail bit different versions (even different midget types)
