A Few ?s on scratchbuilding the USS Ranger CV-4 in 1/700

Post by Timothyo »

Hi Folks,

No laughing from the pros now, as this is new territory for me! I hope this is the right forum for this.....

I am thinking about scratchbuilding a 1/700 Ranger CV-4. I was wondering what type of plans I would need so I can get the proper hull lines. There seem to be several different plans for ships- I am new to scratchbuilding ship hulls, so I am not sure what type I will need. Also- can anyone recommend a good source for plans?

Thanks much, and regards,

Timothy

Corsair Armada made a really nice Ranger in 700 scale. You might consider getting one from Pacific Front. I think the kit is still available.
