As the ship is relatively new plans may not be available.
3 years ago I built a 1/72 model utilising photographs and info available from the web.
The model was balsa hull construction with waterproofed card supertructure and 1/72 Apache helicoptor converted to Stealth design with rotating rotor and lights.
The model turned out very well with full camouflage scheme cribbed  from the web and I had many admiring comments from Club members and public alike, however the usual "know all fraternity" ( of which I have been accused of being a member on this very site!) claimed the design was out of my own head and that no such ship exists --- pleased to say the I could prove them wrong.
Sadly I sold it on e-bay a good while ago to help fund a more traditional puffer build so no pics to show.
With the puffer out of the way and chugging nicely on the lake most Sunday mornings, I've been mulling over the latest US DDG 1000 Zumwalt - DD(X) multi mission destroyer . Looks easy but the forward hull construction could be a bit iffy.

I played around with a design for a while, then shelved it.

Is this anything like what you want?

Slight error in the address. www.RCGroups.com  Visby is what to look for, not Fisby.

I know it is not a Visby but someone mentioned the Zumwalt (DDG-!000) class and Homeport Models has just come out with one.  Not my personal taste but for those who need stealth here is one.
