Hi Guys

I have a future project in mind for a Boston Typhoon type ASW Trawler in 1:32. As I have injured my ligaments I can't build much just now so research Is a good option. Anyway I was looking for a 4" gun plan and I found these documents. Lots of other stuff on the site and many pictures of manuals are really links. I just thought someone might like to see them.

These PDF's are quite big

Oh any comments on suitable ASW vessels would be welcome. ?... or directions to a 4" plan

I`m researching armed trawlers too (looks like were planning the same project) and found that 12 pounders were the most common fit, the bigger conversions like the Dance class mounted the 4 inch and a couple of the Fish class and Military class mounted them too.
The Lambert drawings are fantastic
