The Vanguard plans I have

The Vanguard plans I have from White Ensign are 1/192 scale, so smaller than the 1/96th scale plans you've seen at Jecobin.

I've not heard of the 1/96 scale drawings until now, I'll have to check them out.

The plans I have are very good. Some inaccuracy, but that's minor.

Andy/ Adam

can you give me some examples of "minor inaccracies" on the Jacobin / White Ensign Vanguard plans?

I wonder if the White Ensign plans are just a reduced version of the Jecobin plans

Thanks

The conning tower isn't right-

The conning tower isn't right- details too exaggerated.

Also shows forward vanes having trim tabs- not so on the real boats.

There are probably other details, but they're probably so minor as not to be an issue.

You have to accept that a lot of things about these boats are classified, and will remain that way for a long time to come. So you have to accept a certain amount of 'error' and build the boat.

My Jecobin plans have the scale written on them as part of the drawing, so they're not merely reduced copies, as far as I'm aware.

[color=#000000]Adam,

I got my T-class plans on ebay. The plans say they are drawn in 1/72 scale (3/8" = 1 foot), but I'm sure this is incorrect. The seller only claims the plans are for a hull 60" long with a 6" beam. (NOTE]

Mike,

Just an idea but the Heisz Wolf website has a sample of the Jecobin Vanguard plans on his surprise, surprise plan section. I can`t remember the exact address but it is something like,

Take a look, I do have the 1/96 plans and they are pretty good despite the minor problems, just make sure you have a big table to lay them on.

All the best,
