Hi,

As the title suggests, I am in search of plans for the USS Cimarron (AO-177) class. I hope to build a waterline model, and would appreciate any leads.

Thanks much and regards,
Timothy

I have one at my winter home where I will be in November. Contact me by Em len.fricke G's M if interested. It will be expensive as Jim Shirley has been out of business for perhaps 30 or more years. I paid a lot for it but I can not possibly build all the kits in my stash in my remaining time on this earth even if I do nothing but build models.

JAG produced the stretched version in 1/700. Jim Shirley produced the Cimarron before it was stretched. Both kits well out of production for at least 20 years and hard finds.

Yeah, I know of those kits. Unfortunately I missed out on the JAG kit, so the best I can do is to try to cobble one together myself.

Received some good drawings from FFG-7, but still on the hunt for the hull lines. Anyone know of any leads?

Thanks for the input guys!
Timothy
