DDG 51 I contacted a club member, Chuck L. who has a beautiful model of a 82. Here is his response:
Hi Bill, I am pretty sure I bought my plans from the Floating Drydock. These plans do have the hull lines. I found quite a few pictures on the Coast Guard's website, even some pictures of the cutters in Vietnam. I bought pictures of my cutter, which turned out to post launching pictures, from the Coast Guard historian in Washington. The book "RIVERINE" A pictorial history of the Brown Water War in Vietnam" by Jim Mesko, published by Squadron/signal publications has some information and a few pictures. Also, in the movie "Overboard" with Goldie Hawn, at the end of the movie there is a Point Class cutter featured doing her rescue. The attached link lists hulls from Microglass. http://www.microglass.net/pt.html Chuck Floating Drydock plans would be copyrighted so I wouldn't put him on the spot as far as making copies. Hopefully this info will be of use to you. |

But Kap, he does have a long hidden away/to build list. And when he gets to them, he does great work.

There are plans available from what used to be Radio Control Boat Modeller.
http://www.airagestore.com/plans/rc-...int-ledge.html I have a set and the back issue of the magazinewith the construction article. They were in the Fall 2007 issue. The plans are pretty complete. |
