What makes or breaks a cut away sub is to include the pressure hull in the interior. 
there's usually several feet of space between the two, plus one is a tube inside of a mailing envelope. 
you'll remember my Type 21?

I made the pressure hull of slices of soft drink plastic bottles that I wandered around th 7/11 measuring. Weird guy!!

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Hey!You know the first German sub model that had an interior? No? Well, I feel sorry for you. ? Question?

    Have you ever built Gunter Prien's Sub By Revell? No? Oh! are you missing some fun. It can be, for it's scale Better than either Revell's or Renwal's Nuke sub with interiors!!

 So now they have this monster that is all you'll ever want( They Think, Right?) Wrong! Why? Well, Gunter's boat had some nice features for it's size. It had guage faces you could paint. Yes, they were small but do-able. They were accompanied by W/T doors that opened and closed. There were even spaces on the console fronts where you could mount Blow and Ballast controls and Valve Wheels by the dozen.

 You could have a field day in the Forward torpedo Room with Valves and Levers all over the place. That boat had the rocker arms exposed on the engines for operation so you could even detail them into the model, if you wanted.

 I just thought I would pass this along as I found myself the recipient of this sub some time back and I decided I am going to go %#$$* to the wall, in super detailing it. Just as a break from my seemingly unending " Rio" paper ship model.
