Algerine Class Minesweeper H.M.S. Pluto

Hi Doug, This is what i was referring to. http://deansmarine.co.uk/shop/images/HMS_BRAMBLE.jpg £275.30 HMS Bramble [425] ALGERINE MINESWEEPERS These ships were built between 1942 and 1945 and were fitted with magnectic, acoustic, and mechanical sweeping equipment. It would seem that this class of ship developed from the Halcyon class of minesweeper of the 1930's still retaining some of their general appearance. These ships, having been built in the U.K. and Canada, later served in the Canadian and most Western Alliance Navys. Details of the kit Scale 1/96 Length 762m Beam 120mm Sailing weight 2.21kgs The model is based on a plated fibre glass hull. All decks are LASER CUT 1.5MM HIPS SHEET and superstructure is in 1mm printed plastic sheet format with turret, funnel, boats etc in vacformed plastic. and fine detail fittings are in cast in light alloy, and all larger items are cast in lightweight plastic. Stanchions and ladders for that extra fine detail are in etched brass. Propshafts and tubes are included in this kit along with the rudder and tiller arm. THE FULL SIZE PLAN is from the D McGregor range. With its twin screws and twin motors and short length/beam ratio this makes into one of the busiest little models in our range and she has all the outstanding handling qualities of her bigger and full size sister. The close range fit on this model are 4 40mm bofors guns. The kit contains a comprehensive set of instructions. Martin555.

Aerokits pt boat plan

Evenin' Andrew, How's this? Don't worry about the German when you open the file in your pdf reader or view on this site. Just download to your hard drive. (Click on the blue backed arrow icon, top left in the file viewer, when you click on the file in my post.) View or save the file. Open the file from the hard drive. Click on the file icons on the left (hopefully in your reader!) and you'll see the plans and the build instructions. I've tested the files with Adobe reader and it works. Second file gives a more detailed plan (deck fittings and etc) and profile view but no bulkhead profiles. Happy building, don't forget the Build Blog please😉 Doug 😎
