    Buddy,
    I'm looking for a GOOD set of plans for the WW1 Kongo. Where did you get yours?

    Haruo-san at Miyukikai has a very nice set of plans. They'll need to be blown up to 1/144, but the detail is unparalleled.

    According to his site, all he has is the lengthened version. I'm looking for the short version.

    That was the problem we had in finding them. I found cross sections that showed both versions and then a small plan view and shorted the other to match. Trouble seems to be getting the right info the superstructure.
