I picked up today at the LHS the Tamiya combo kit US Navy CA-35 Indianapolis and Japanese Sub I-58 (late)....it was a good deal I couldnt pass up ....does anyone know if Photo etch exists for these kits, and where I could find it?

I've got sme 350 scale subs, all I'm gonna do is put some rails on it..left overs. That is what I would do in your case. You are bound to have a few bits and pieces of railing left over from the Indianapolis set to enhance your sub. A little bit goes a long way with subs
