Plans of british scout Cruisers (1904)

Post by 1:6000 »

Dear all,

I am searching for plans of the first four classes of british scout cruisers, starting with HMS Pathfinder.

Anything is highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot + have a nice day,

Christian.

There is an article in Warship International No. 3 1994:

The Royal Navy Scout class of 1904-05 by K.D. McBride

It contains a side view and inboard profile of Sentinel, Attentive and Patrol and a side view, inboard view and deck views of Forward/Foresight.

For a 1/700 model the drawings of Forward/Foresight could be sufficient.

British Cruisers of World War Two by Raven and Roberts contains a side view and a deck view of Forward and Bellona.

Conway's all the World's Fighting Ships 1860-1905 contains a side view of Patrol. Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1906-1921 contains a side view of Bellona,

Unfortunately Friedman does not cover the scout cruisers in his cruiser books - and only very short in his destroyer book (because he considers them being destroyer leaders).

I would be interested in drawings of Fearless...

Hi George,
you have uploaded here a plan of a scout cruiser of the Adventure class (HMS Adventure, HMS Attentive), I would search one of the later Active class (HMS Active, HMS Amphion, HMS Fearless).

Cheers
