SMC-469 Goeben 1912 1/200 scale $22.00
SMC-474 Vonn der Tann 1909 1/200 scale $22.00
what is the quality of the plans? Rib Stations?
Thanks,

Taubman is just selling them. I haven't seen any of their plans for German ships, but I do have a set of plans for the Russian Sinop class of pre-dreadnoughts from them.
They are decent plans, enough lines to build a hull decent hull, and drawn with the model builder in mind.
I haven't ordered any of their 1/200 scale offerings because the of loss plan quality enlarging to 1/72 scale.

| | 18 Jul 2008 02:46 PM | | Hey Dread,
Does anyone else on line sell SMC plans? Does SMC have a website? I like to look at a sample of what I am buying.
Thanks for the info, | | | Uberpooperscooper Bobo

They look good and measure out correctly. | | | |

| | 18 Jul 2008 03:11 PM | | Hey guys,
I just went on SMC's site and looked at their plans. Good find. Question, the plans do have rib sections don't they?

| | 18 Jul 2008 03:11 PM | | Thats good to know Tug,
Now if there was only a way to go from 1/200 to 1/72 that didn't make the lines magic marker thick [:(] | | | |

| | 19 Aug 2008 02:20 PM | | I have gotten several of their plan sets and the only ones I am disappointed with are the Mikasa and Nissin. The Mikasa is poor for rib sections. Not really enough or very detailed.

| | 19 Aug 2008 02:27 PM | | Agreed,
The Taubman plans for turn of the century Japanese/Chinese ships are lousy. Of course, they are SMC plans and only cost $10 directly from SMC.

| | 19 Aug 2008 04:42 PM | | Oh, and I got some Russian plans for SMS Seydlitz from Taubman's and they're fine. Not the equal of Miyukikai, but then not much is, and Haruo-san doesn't do much other than Japanese (I think 4 or 5 WW2 ships from UK and US). | | | |

You are correct sir. And don't we go back to 1900? | | | I am prepared to meet my maker, whether He is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

| | 20 Aug 2008 09:15 AM | | In Battlestations? Yes :) Trying to imagine a Mikasa hullform operating at the 24 knot minimum :) I figure that a Connecticut PDN would look like the Connecticut on the front of my website, only a couple of knots faster :) | | | |
