...
... Along my travels to the Dixie Gas Oil Show this past week, I stumbled across this
54" long Display Model of the SSN-571 NAUTILUS Submarine.

... Now I just need to find out where and who made it.

... I do know that the actual submarine was built by General Dynamics - Electric Boat in Conn. .

... Yes, I did see that in my search.

... I believe that the one I have is made of wood... not plastic.
... thanks for the link.

When I was a kid, my friends dad had a 8' long submarine model in the basement that was used in the movie Ice Station Zebra, the detail on it was very impressive.
