Taking a break from imagi-nations for a bit so I can build up my models for a scenario I'm working on, in the meantime here's a interesting subject.
is there any GHQ models that can be used as submarine aircraft carriers like the British M2 sub or the Japanese I-400 class? As its a very interesting concept for table top.

IJN29, I-19 class submarine carried an aircraft in a hanger forward of the conning tower. This is considerably smaller than the I-400 class but is a submarine "aircraft carrier."
GHQ doesn't have anything like an I-400, but there is a 3D-printer version available. I don't know of any model of the M2.

Such submarines were rare curiosities, rather than practical.
The only Japanese sub modeled is indeed I-19 (and that goes for CinC as well).
