Calling all Danish Willemoes-class missile boat (1977) fans

[GaryM]

This is in my opinion one of the nicest looking FACs produced over the past 20 years.

This model is in a Danish Museum

You know, its been said that if an airplane looks right, it flys right. I don't know if that holds true for watercraft in all cases but I have to this class looks incredibly "right". So when can I get it in 1/350?

[GaryM]

Hi Russ,
At that small scale I think you may have to scratch build, I am building at 1/50 and that is only 884mm in length.

Hi Gary
You share my enthusiasm for this class...
I am a retired serviceman who builds large scale RC boats and for many years I have been hoping to find a set of plans or a GA drawing , a line drawing of the Willemoes torpedo boat to build at a large scale...with no luck.

Do you have a set of plans or a GA drawing ? My finished model will be
approximately 48-55 inches long...have not decided on scale yet however it will
be fitted with a sound system, rotating bow gun and search radar...so I need
the space..

Cheers from my dockyard

I'm interested in making a model of this vessel as well, since it is such a fine looking craft, so would appreciate any assistance with plans and drawings for the vessel, especially a plan view.

I've found a decent, small-scale side profile drawing of the Willemoes, but it's only a few inches across, so doesn't provide much detail. I'd be happy to share it, if anyone needs a copy.

I'm new to the group, so not sure how to contact others via e-mail here, directly.

I can be reached at the following address: rkentjr [at] hotmail (d0t} com

I'm also interested in line drawings and plans of other Fast Attack Craft as well, e.g. the Norrkoping/Spica, Hauk, Hugin, Storm, Snogg, and Soloven classes, if anyone knows where to find them.

Hi Willemoes fans.
If you care to practise some danish language, an excellent book exist: ISBN:978-87-89022-51-1 "S�heltenes Skibe" printed 2007 by Niels Chr. Borck and S�ren N�rby (The title meaning "The ships of the naval heroes" as they were named after officers appointed heroes by history.)
I served in the boats in the 70'ties.
I still like the boats. 9 are scraped , "Sehested" is on display in Copenhagen.
best regards
