Linking two Models together in ModelBuilder

I am trying to link two separate models that iterate thought two different feature classes together into one, however I am having a small issue. When I bring in the sub-model into the larger one it it able to iterate thought the feature classes however, it then sends the last feature iteration class to the outer model.

The way I am linking the two models together is by opening in edit mode the large model and then drag in the sub-model while having the last output of the sub-model as a model parameter so that I can use it as input into my larger model.

I think the reason this may not be working properly is because I am not using the collect values tool that is available in the sub-model.However if I do that it changes everything into values and I am not able to link the output of the sub-model into my larger model.

I have read the ESRI help guide on running a model within a model and the ESRI forums and none of them seen to do the trick.

Below I have provided the link to the two models:

I would greatly appreciate any help/suggestions.

Thank You!!

You could just export both models to python and then copy paste one into the other. That's how I worked around that.
