Well, it depends on your idea of inexpensive. Subconcepts in Roswell, NM sells Engel kits and they do indeed produce a Nautilus kit. However, it runs around $1500. Not bad really, if you consider it does include all the little stuff you need (sans radio equipment) to build it. I have purchased and built Engel kits in the past and am currently building a 1/48 Engel Gato fleet boat. They are not hard to build but do present challenges. Frank from Subconcepts is very helpful and a wealth of info. His website is http://www.subconcepts.com They are revamping their website right now so it is a little tougher to navigate but still worth a look. As far as I know, Frank is the only importer of Engel kits in the US.

Hope that helps!

Models of the Nautilus are few and far between, especially in any decent scale. Custom Replicas MAY have a few of their castings left to offer, but you're talking somewhere around $1800US, I think.

I had to build my own due to lack of funds at the time. Blueprints are out there for the people so motivated to give it a shot themselves.

Let me know if you need the plans and I can email a copy to you.
