RBohlman Posted August 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2019 I purchased the Mamoli CSS Alabama kit some time ago when I found it on sale. In looking over the kit I was not impressed with the instruction plans provided! Any suggestions as to where I might find better build plans for the Alabama?

mtdoramike Posted August 3, 2019 Share #3 Posted August 3, 2019 What is your issue with the plans and instructions with this kit? I have seen both and this kit and found it to be more than adequate to build a decent representation of the ship. mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have multiple plans for her as my blog here does have some posted. Bluejackets CSS Alabama plans are excellent and i am utilizing them for my build. You can get them at BJ's web site under CSS Alabama kit. Their plans are very detailed and are the best ones out there IMHO for a wooden build. Mine is the Revell 1/96 scale plastic kit which I am currently working on. You'll also see how I have discussed the discrepancy in all the prints I have. Here's the blog for your reference: Edited August 29, 2019 by Jonathan11 Canute and mtaylor 2 Current build project: CSS Alabama 1/96 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/20148-css-alabama-by-jonathan11-revell-196-scale-kit-bash-90-historical-accuracy/ Finished build projects 2018: H.L Hunley 1/24 CSS Arkansas 1/96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
