bud1 Posted January 17, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2014 I have have a new unused model kit of the Charles W Morgan that was purchased from Marine Models Inc., many years ago. I am aware the company is out of business. My problem is there are no plans in the box, and no direction at all. I am a model rail roader but have no experience with ship building. I would like to tackle this project but don't have a clue as to how or where to start. Is there anyone out there that has the plans for this kit????? Thank Bud1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafine Posted January 17, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2014 I guess that I'm a pack rat, but this was the second ship that I built around 45 years ago and I still have the plans. However, there are no instructions of the kind found in kits today. I would be happy to send you the plans if you would PM me with the necessary information. A few words of caution, though. The kit then contained a lot of lead castings. If your kit dates from that era, I don't know how they are packed or what their condition may be after all these years. Not only are they a hazard to use, they will deteriorate to the point of disappearance at some point after construction. You needn't ask how I know.

Thank Bud1 I also have the same kit that was gifted to me with many others.The C W Morgan is down on my list to construct,however, I will be watching for your construction posts. I was thinking of trying to obtain the construction book from the new versions to help with this model.So if anyone has a construction instruction book available, please contact me.
