                        Hello,

                         

                        I´m building a large model of the "USS Guam", at this time I start to construate the plans, because there are no good plans available.

                        So, is there anyone, who builds this ship or one of her sisters? Does anyone know a builder of this ship?

                        I´m interested to colect more pics and reference materials and could eventually help.

                        Best regards

                         Andreas

                        Iron Shipwrights makes a Guam (LPH-9) in 1:350 scale

                        http://ironshipwrights.com/ships_350.html

                        Its currently listed as unavailable/backorder.   Its a big and costly item.  Jon @ ISW would have to cast one up on demand

                        Hi,

                        the plans of "Floating Drydock" are not complete.

                        I´ve got them for some years. The same plans I got from the US Navy, but they are not complete too.

                        Best regards Andreas

                        RAY BEAN, has a CD on that ship and her sisters. In about a month I'll be doing a scratchbuilt waterline of Okinawa. Photos of the ships are great. Good Luck to you.
