As my first build is nearing completion, I am looking around to what would be interesting to make as an addition to my fleet 'to be'.
I will make an armed transport (Robert E Peary) for a shorter project, but I would really love to make HMS Nelson.
While searching the internet, it seems almost impossible to find plans for that ship, except from the Royal Museums of Greenwich, but those plans are costly. I have received the list of plans they have, but 47 plans, 50 pounds each (and the first one costs 70pounds) is a bit too much.
I am looking to build the late-war Nelson, with the 61 oerlikon guns etc. What plans would I need? Any advice is welcome.
Here's the list:
