I guess (from the list) that it's a carrier? Have you tried everywhere else first? If you have to buy from the NMM I would suggest that you get plans 0, 1 and 2 for starters. See what this provides in relation to how detailed you want the model to be and what photos or drawings you already have. If you need further drawings you can always go back to NMM - assuming you can't get the information cheaper elsewhere.

Good luck with the model

Hi All
Yes it is a carrier The Ark Royal 2, I have looked at other plans but they are too small to build in 1/96 as when they are blown up to size the lines are way to wide.
I have always wanted to build her and now am in a position where I have the time and the area in which to do it.
Thankyou
Doug
