The Ship Model Forum

Greetings,

I'm looking for a good set of plans for the Gangut class dreadnoughts as they were originally built.

Taubman lists a set of plans for the ship (#RC-095) and lists them as 1/144 scale RC combat plans. Has anybody seen these plans? I am very wary of ordering them because: A. they have picture of the wrong Gangut on the page. B. they are "RC Warship Combat" plans and my previous experience has shown this usually means inaccurate and of poor quality. C. My previous experience with Taubman is that they usually only sell other companies plans at a huge price markup...

I have so far been unable to find any other source of plans, even from some Russian plans companies. I'm hoping to find something in 1/100 or 1/72 scale.

Thanks in advance

you can get a plan from Taubman, but this may be a Polish plan which comprises a wrong hull plan. The best up to date source is the paper card model available here: http://www.kartonmodellshop.de/shop/adv ... ds=kommune.
It's the "Pariser Kommune" "Paris Commune" This is a perfect documentation according to my web research. I built the October Revolution 20 years ago using the Polish plan set 1:100.
Hope this helps.
