I have just returned from the Blackpool show with some plans of HMS Manchester (I'm from there). I know that hulls and fittings are readily available, but what I want to know is if anyone has any experience in building one of these class of ship, if there are any tips or warnings you can give and info on what motors and so on you used and how they sail.
Any info that can be supplied would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Mate, You don't say which HMS Manchester....the WWII cruiser or the type 42 destroyer?
I kinda assume its the type 42....is it in 1:96 scale?
there are several type 42 models in the gallery under destroyers though after a quick look I can only see batch 1 & 2 42's....(Manchester being a batch 3 with the stretched hull).....If you personal message some of those builders I'm sure they'd be happy to offer any advice.
