The Ship Model Forum

Hi all

I have just been in touch with the maritime museum in Greenwich with reguards to the access to plans and they have sent me a list of plans availible but I dont believe I need all they are offering can someone please advise which ones I need to build a 1/96 rc model frm scratch.

Here is the list
0-lines
1-body plan
2-profile as fitted
3-bridges
4-flight/Upp galery decks
5-lower gall/ upp hang decks
6-lower hanger/upper decks
7-main/lower decks
8-platforms/hold
9-sections forward
10-sections aft
11-flight decks

Thankyou
Doug

For what ship????

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
