Plans for Forrest Sherman Destroyers

Post by Trout58 »

Hi All
I am hoping someone out there knows if anyone has produced detailed model plans in 96th or 48th scale for the Forrest Sherman Class destroyer?
I have looked at the usual suppliers with no luck.

Cheers

Floating Drydock has 2 sets. They have this to say about them:
The Sumrall line of plans were drawn by Robert F. Sumrall in the 1960's and early 70's. These are basic plans that are for the model builder. NOT all plans contain Hull Lines. A notation in the plan description fill indicate this.
USS Forest Sherman (DD-931) circa 1960 containing the following views:

A-MAIN DECK
B-OUTBOARD PROFILE
C-BRIDGES
D-SUPERSTRUCTURE DECK
F-HULL SECTION
P-DATA

Item numbers:
RS-DD931/32 1/384 $10.00
RS-DD931/16 1/192 $14.00

Hope that helps.

Brett,

I've come across this set as well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DD941-plans-USS ... 2c6d16129f

Its from a shop on E-bay so no bidding required. I have no idea what scale they are though. Floating Drydock is a great site to deal with just make sure to select add in the extra cost of the mailing tube if you want them sent to in a roll, otherwise they will be folded.

The set for sale on eBay looks like it's a Wiswesser plan, so between that and the 11x17 paper size I'm guessing it's 1:384 scale.
