    Thanks, but does anyone have Ersatz Yorck plans, as opposed to a hull?

    If you ask nicely Michael Raue who run Dreadnought Hulls might indicate where he found his material. My suggestion is the Bundesarshiv Archives over in Germany. The material I have seen indicates it is just a lengthened Derrflinger with tandem rudders instead of inline ones.

    Thanks, but my German's a bit rusty. I'm in San Diego.
    Anyone know of a source?

    Like Mike suggested, I would recommend you talk to the gentleman who runs dreadnought hulls. He may have plans for it or know where to get them.

    Thanks guys - good advice, I'll check with him.
    These battlecruisers were amazing ships (and were actually laid down, if not completed, like the Mackensen class), sort of a German Hood. 15" gunned EY was basis of 11-inch Scharnhorst class in WW2 (plans for later upgunning to 15" not carried out).
    Yes - Mike - a stretched Derfflinger with tandem rudders. Perhaps for better maneuvering or survivability?
    Best regards,
    P.
