Here is photo of the Wilco Models 1/48th scale Proteus from the movie
"Fantastic Voyage." I believe the scale is closer to 1/60th though.
This was my first resin kit ever. Most of the clean-up was with the
cabin windows-lots and lots of sanding with a fair amount of putty
applied. The "dive planes" in front of the side intakes were terrible
so I omitted them in favor of trying
give the impression of a tubular "frame." It was painted with rattle
cans with the interior details done by hand. A great first resin kit
for anyone. The big challenge are the cabin windows.
I thermo-formed clear sheet in hot water then applied it inside the
cover. Not a perfect fit, but suitable. The original filming model
lacked them. One of my references was Phil Broad's
web-site: Cloudster. Great site!! Check it out sometime!
