Hi all I've just recievied my hull and plan from fleetscale and to say the plan is basic is plight.
I've got the usual reference books Ensign 5 and profile Morskie but I don't have the layout
of the lower deck structures. And I don't have £180 for a copy of Raven and Roberts British
cruisers if anyone can help it would be much appreciated cheers in advance.

Doesn't appear to be much out there I'm afraid.

[cwmitch]

I know what you mean. If it helps any-one it's the forecastle deck
structures or just an out line of what I can't see on the plan or in
any of the books I've got cheers.

hi there

The only reference I have to the Town Class Cruiser, apart from the David MacGregor Plans Book, in there they do HMS Sheffield which is the same style cruiser 0/S/9A profile deck plan & details at 1/16 to the foot  0/S/9B lines plating and detail 1/16 to the foot and 0/S/9C cranes and more boat details at 1/8 foot - these are drawings which were prepared by the late Norman A. Ough and which were owned by the David MacGregor Plans service.

Now, I cannot remember which (is it the Warrior Ships Society or the SS Great Britain Society) who own the rights to these drawings.  As far as I know, they are not prepared to re-issue them just at the moment.   I think we modellers must try and put some pressure on this said Society to speed up the reissue date of these drawings & plans.   They are a great miss to the modelling society and they are a great source of information.

Town Class cruiser HMAS BRISBANE was built in Oz under licence at Cockatoo Dockyard.

Have you thought of going The National Archives of Australia route. http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/Search.asp

I haven't but your link seems dead, Although from a time scale
point of view if it has to come from Australia?

Mybe it would help if you took a look at www.warshipmodelsunderway.com, Gallery 67 where you will see photos of my 1/96 HMS Sheffield 1943 . These are completed model photos but I do have many construction ones also. Contact me on [email protected] and I can  help you out ,  John
