USS Montana (ACR-13) SS/Turret plans - ACR, Armored Cruiser, Tennessee, Montana,

here ya go! this, along with my prior PDF upload of the hull plans will give you a 1st Gen Montana.

I can't model well enough to do the cage mast, so if you want a Gen 2, then delete the foremast and bridge, and slap down a cage mast just aft of the conning tower.

the bridge was the same shape, just reduced from a partially-enclosed structure to a platform.

reference the thread on Armored cruiser plans for a snapshot of the Gen 2...

UPDATED SUPERSTRUCTURE PLANS for USS Montana (ACR-13)

Only difference being that I slapped on the patterns for the casemate deck stringer.

I designed the stringer in easy-to-discern segments so that you can use 1/8" X 1 1/2" hard maple stock to make them.

Hard maple stock is exceptionally durable and makes great stringer material. here's the link for it:

Trust me, it's worth the price to use hard maple to make this stringer instead of plywood.

yes, you can skin those...

Anvil_x updated USS Montana (ACR-13) SS/Turret plans with a new update entry:

just added some notches for the air castles on the main deck

this is pretty simple add-on. it will give you the contour for the air castles on the subdeck so you can sheet them nicely.
