Thanks for the links. Unfortunately the Bainbridge-class was still very much a torpedoboat and not really alike the four-pipers. It seems these ships have been quite neglected by modellers, modelmakers and even, it seems, the historians. I understand this, to a certain degree, since they were overshadowed by the massproduced flushdeckers and (save one) didn't see action in WWII.
Maybe I'll try to create a layout based on the side view and the photographs. Not sure yet.

I aven't checked to see if the hulls were the same but the Bainbridge Class plans are available.
Floating Drydock has DD-1 limited plans http://www.floatingdrydock.com/G.htm
HNSA has these for free http://www.hnsa.org/doc/plans/dd1.pdf

Guys, I'm looking for reasonably detailed (not blueprint-levels of detail required) plans of the following US destroyer classes:
Smith-class
Paulding-class
Cassin-class
Aylwin-class
Sampson-class
Tucker-class
All I have found is a profile in Friedman's US Destroyers, which is not enough to start building a hull from.
