Title: Platform Supply Vessel
Post by: quixoticgeek on July 14, 2013, 08:45:39 am

I find myself pondering the idea of building a model of a platform supply vessel, but I'm struggling to find any plans or kits or info related to modelling this type of vessel.


Does anyone know of any plans or kits for this type of vessel?


Thanks


J

J,
There are a few model kits available of straight Supply vessels and of AHV,s. Are you looking to build a kit or are you looking for a vessels actual plans which can be harder to source?

Peter,
I did consider building a model of the Pacific Blade, what scale/size is your model?

Traplet have a plan for Pacific Buccaneer 1:60 I think. Good if you want to scratch build. I used the hull lines as a basis for my model of Anglian Sovereign at 1:76.
