USS Nimitz plans

Post by Vadfloyd »

Hi!

I'm planing to start a new project. It will be USS Nimitz. I want to build it from scratch plans. Does anyone know where can I get the plans?

THANKS!

First what scale are you building in and second I am redrawing the plans fopr Scale Shipyard that are in 1/96 scale, these do not have hull lines on them. If interested I can have a copy made and reduce them down.

I took a look at those Nimitz plans and they are not very accurate, the bow is wrong and I can tell you that there are no large openings in her side above the bilge keels.

What scale are you building your model in?

You may want to consider ordering additional plans from The Floating Drydock.
