Hello, Raymond!
I don't know about 1/72 scale hulls, only 1/96 scale.
http://www.group8models.com/barnegat.htm http://www.loyalhannadockyard.com/ 1/48 scale paper plans might be available from Loyalhanna, I think they'll be 1/96.
http://www.floatingdrydock.com/G.htmYou can get 1/96 paper plans from The Floating Drydock of the USS Unimak AVP-31. These are the same as my BGP digital images at Back-Aft Models. (I donated the original BGP to The Floating Drydock.)
At my Back-Aft Models online store, I have detailed micro film image collections from the NARA for the USS Barnegat Class AVPs. I don't have AVP-12 specific plans but, the Plans Common to Most AVPs and AGPs collection would be valuable for any AVP scratch building, however they'd have to be scaled up and printed out. I'm used to scaling the digital images to 1/700 and 1/350 so, a Letter or Legal Size paper usually gets me by.
http://shop.back-aft.com/Micro-Film-Images-Common-To-Most-AVPs-AGPs-AVP038.htm The closest flight of AVPs that I have for the AVP-12 would be AVPs 29-32 NARA images....
http://shop.back-aft.com/AVP-29-thru-32-Micro-Film-Images-AVP029.htm or the Combo Pack / Super Set......
http://shop.back-aft.com/AVP-29-thru-32-Super-Set-Micro-Film-Images-AVP029SS.htm I hope that this helps you. I can be of more help with 1/350 AVP model projects.
Let me know if you think I can help you in any other ways.
