There is a 1978 Japanese toy which is remarkably similar to the Land of the Giants Spindrift.  What do you think?  Does anyone have this toy?

James Squellati has been working on constructing a scratch built Nautilus model (The Return of Captain Nemo).  We very much hope that a model kit manufacturer will some day consider issuing a Nautilus model kit as there is very little available on this model.
