    I am new to this site and I have read that there are free plans for naval combat war ships and RC boats. I was wondering if anybody could give me the link?
    Thank you for your time
    Sorry if I missed the free section

    The French database is still mostly unavailable via their website.

    Those are great looking plansets you've made up- I'm tempted to try the V-108, but I'd probably tear my hair out trying to not break the ribs. Maybe another year when I've got more patience and experience. :)

    Did the French plans I posted on the old site ever get reposted in the Free Plans section?

    Under the plans section, I posted a link to some free USN plans.

    Just remember that those french plans are in 1/100 scale.

    I downloaded the plans for the Mogador. I found that the plans are curved.
    It took numerous hours of redrawing the lines to be able to build an accurate superstructure.

    Do you have some good pictures of the superstructure? If not, want some?

    Those sneaky French are never on the level.

    I can see where that can help.

    The MOG plans have numerous annotations that obstructs the drawings.
    It has been a real chore to white wash them.
