    hello all.
    new to the site.
    just started building my first trial on tugboats tutorial on the Edgar Quinet.
    seems to be going well, as soon as that finishes up we will be on to the USS Colorado BB-45.
    does anyone have actual usable pictures for super structure and related items?
    thanks.
    oh- and anyone in the western PA area?
    -Bryan

    Welcome to the site. For the superstructure (which, there isn't much of on that ship), you can get the plans for them here (though you will need to re-scale them):

    E-QUINE1907C001.tif, E-QUINE1907C006.tif and E-QUINE1907C007.tif offer the best views of the SS in my opinion.
