As Mr. Sutton has pointed out, you can see the two AIP Dolphins are longer than the other three.

Now if there were just a good (or any) kit of them...

I can't claim I will do one, because I do not know how far I will get. I have wanted a IDF Dolphin for years and started working on it. I have a rough sail done and the planes are mostly done. I plan on doing the sub in 1/48 scale. I have plans for the Dolphin (version I) and moving slowly from there.

Israel's "ace in the hole", or last ditch option if facing annihilation. But that is the case with several countries, the submarine being the most survivable weapons platform(I hope).
