Looking for someone to build hulls and superstructures (2 sets) for a
Cannon class US Navy DE circa WW II in 1:150 scale.

Specific prototype is USS Reinhart, DE 196.

I have access to lots of Cannon class plans and drawings.

One to be a mantle piece model, one to be a lakeable / pondable /
sailable electric RC.

Suggestions?

Hmmm,... I don't see a reply address.:confused:

At this scale, 1/150, the DET and FMR class Destroyer Escort will
build out at around 24" x 2.9 inches. While it will make a great
mantel piece, I am not sure how seaworthy it will be as an R/C model. I have seen some 1/700 scale R/C boats, but they need really calm water to sail.
