You might check Taubmann's. Don't know for sure.

I'm guessing it's the Ark Royal from NF? The WWII carrier?

It won't hurt to ask our Department of Defense's public relations about it....other than that they may think you're going to sabotage our ships, heh.

Hallo Lyall, :wave_1:

Every time I want some plans of a British ship , I write or fax to 'National Maritime Museum' Greenwich, Londen SE10 9NF tel.0044 20 8858 4422 Fax 0044 20 8312 6632. http://www.nmm.ac.uk
They will send you detailled info of the ship you are looking after , for example: K class Destroyer HMS Kelly 1938; they have sent me details of:Profile , Forecastle deck , Upper deck , Lower Deck , Hold , Sections , Docking plan , Lines , Shell expansion 9 plans in total. All this is in scale 1/48 with the prices mentioned. You can choose which plans you need and order them. These plans do not come cheap , but they are worth every penny.
I would say give it a try , and order info on HMS Ark Royal.

Regards,

Ludwig

Hi,
I am urgently in need of some plans and sections of the Ark Royal RO7, the latest one, it is for my diploma, that requires me to have built a model within the next week.
Does anyone know where I can get plans and sections quickly?

Thanks for your help

Matt
