Steve Batcheldor in Canberra and Alan Pew both have plans and I believe Float a Boat have their own which may be more accurate.
Steve can produce both 1:50 and 1:72 fibreglass hulls as well as a number of other parts.
My 1:50 H.M.A.S. Ararat in photo with Steves hull.
I also have photos and other detail plans that I have drawn up.
There are several threads on our various builds on this site.

You will have better luck searching this site for HMAS Armidale, or Armidale.
 
Note the 'i' in Armidale, else your search may fail.
 
Here is one link, there are others

We can forgive a West Aussie for misspelling Armidale as there is a local government area called Armadale south east of Perth. The city of Armidale, after which HMAS Armidale is called, is on the northern tablelands of NSW, about midway between Sydney and Brisbane on the New England highway.

Wasn't sure if weekesy was a sandgroper. :embarrassed: :embarrassed:
 
A lot of our cities/towns are named after UK places, so without anything indicating he was in OZ, took it that it was Perth UK.
 
    Perth City in Scotland    Perth is a city in central Scotland, located on the banks of the River Tay. It is the administrative centre of Perth and Kinross council area and the historic county town of Perthshire. According to a 2008 estimate, Perth has a population of 44,820. Wikipedia

You could be right O0  I saw "Perth" and "Armadale" and immediately jumped to a conclusion that is probably wrong. I have been to both Perths and liked them both, although the one in Australia is somewhat larger than the one in Scotland - and rather warmer :-)
