They Want Picture and Blueprints on the Ship, You Can Start it.

[I/JG27_Waggel]

Roger. I have registered myself at several german navy boards and model boards. I will ask for such blueprints and construction plans.

[western0221]

I feel I looked at Scharnhorst request on this forum 3 or 4 years ago.
Maybe that topic is alive now.

[I/JG27_Waggel]

I am still waiting for beeing registered at the forums (Ok its weekend). Today I have written a Text to Peter Schmid, the maker of the 3D Model KMS Prinz Eugen, that is absolutely fantastic.

You can find his webside here: http://3dhistory.de/wordpress/3d-models/dkm-prinz-eugen/

I hope to get an answer. His ship surely has too much Polygons but maybe he has an accurate blueprint or plan.
