The Ship Model Forum

Hello,

Is there anybody who knows if there is any publisher that publishes or sells plans of german or british ships which were involved in battle of Coronel on 1. november 1914 near the coast of Chile?

I'am looking for plans of german armored cruiser SMS Scharnhorst or light cruiser SMS Dresden... I'am also interested in british armored cruisers HMS Good Hope or HMS Monmouth but so far I havent seen any avaible plans on the internet...

So... is there anybody who has any information concerning ships mentioned above...?

Yes there are plans, at least for some of the german ships.

MZ-Modellbau has also Kits for SMS Scharnhorst/Gneisenau and SMS Emden/Dresden

I have already seen the hull and parts for SMS N�rnberg and also Leipzig, but only occationally on ebay Germany.

One of the best plans is from P.G. Huff: SMS Emden, but it is hard to get. This is the most detailed I've ever seen.
You can get it along with his excellent book (many unknown photos and the plans)

Or the revised plan assortment. (sorry, I don't know where).

About the english ships I have no idea, maybe the Public Record Office?

At least some photos are shown here:

Hope, it helped...

A plan of HMS Kent (Monmouth Class) at 1:96 is (or at least was) available from Model Boats. Their website has been "off-line" for some months, but is promised before the end of March.

According to the latest issue of " Model Boats" the Plans Service is accesible though http://www.myhobbystore.com , but they are currently "off-line" too!

Rick

http://www.myhobbystore.com is now "on-line" and apparently working. Lots of the old warship plans listed.

Rick

And the Kent is certainly there. Does anyone know if these plans are any good?

Andy

I have the plans for Kent. They are drawn to make a working 1:96 scale model and seem fairly detailed. I have seen models built from them and they look pretty impressive. They are not NMM-detailed plans, however, but neither are they as expensive!

If you are interested, PM me with your email address and I will scan in and send a bit of detail so you can judge for yourself.

Rick

and I have a 1/96 HMS Cumberland in 1/96 that was built from them....

e-mail me for photos--or visit the model!!

I also sent the plans off to Combrig--and their 1/700 Kent class is simply eye-waterlingly good!!!

BTW ...

Torpedo--thanks for the klink--The Huff Book is now...MINE!! hehe!

I have some 1/1200 scale plans from model boats magazine that were puplished in the mid 70's, British & German ships. I could scan them for you if you were interested.

Jim

Best Wishes

I have a couple cool pictures of the SMS Scharnhorst, but no plans or scanner to upload it. Sorry, its a great looking ship though. I hope you build it to show everyone just how nice the ship really looks.
