Are there any model kits out there of the soon-to-be-retired US Navy Supply class ships?

I can't seem to find any 1/350 or 1/700 kits of this class after an extensive online search.

Unless someone knows how to modify one of Trumpeter's Sacramento or Detroit kits? The Sacramento class are actually 795 feet long while the Supply class are 754 feet long.


Just found an interest in this class since the announcement that Canada was considering purchasing at least one of the class as a stopgap AOR since both HMCS Protecteur and her sister are out of service.

MODERATOR EDIT: This topic is now for Supply-class AOE-6 fans and AOE-1 Sacramento Fast Combat Support Ship Fans.

I have plans for the AOE-6 class if anyone wants to attempt a conversion and/or scratch build. Someone on here sent them to me a while back but I can't remember who. They found them on a public website for some US Gov Agency along with plans for the Mercy/Comfort, Navajo Class ATFs, and some others. They're in a PDF so just send me an email if you'd like them.

Don't the Sacramento and Supply class have different superstructures???

It's not merely a question of shortening a Sacramento class hull.

Hello,

... ok, it is not a kit, but this should be a base to work on:

Hope this helps.

Can't you just scale down the 1/192 plans?

Yeah I could. But I want it in 1/350 without going to FedEx.

If you are willing to go very small, on Shapeways, Dutch Fleet Naval Miniatures has a 1/1800 USS Supply.
That producer does offer models in larger scales; I'm not certain how simple it would be for him to "dial up" to a larger scale if you'd prefer 1/700, 1/600, or 1/350.
