I need plans for the catapult?

Mal, Battleship, Cruiser or Destroyer, they are all different. Oh as much as I want a 1/48 version I may just also get one of these.

Battleship, do you have plans Lucky?

Possibly, remember I have been building ships, let me take a look and I'll get back to you.

While you are about it mate can you have a look to see if you have any plans for German ship catapults? I have 2 of the Revell Ar196 kits, one of which I want to display on a catapult And to bring this back to the Kingfisher, I might just get 2 kits so that I can do the same as with the Ar196 and display one on the catapult and one on water

I take it your only going to do a part of a German BB catapult as these were fixed cross deck units that were extended when an aircraft was to be launched, on the Bismarck class at least. The catapult on the Scharnhorst and Deutschland classes were trainable if that's what your looking for.

I know that there is a resin example out there and that looks as if it trainable as it seems to be on a turntable, but I am looking to build some of the nearby superstructure as well so either? Maybe I should flog off one of my examples and just build it on a water scape? Having said that I would like to build one of the options in the kit, which has a Viking ship badge painted on the nose, I have created a mask for this so I am looking forward to trying it out. Was that from the Bismark? I'll have to look it up

Bismarck's Ar 196A-3 aircraft were T3+IH, T3+AK, T3+DL and T3+MK all from 1./Bordflg.Gr 196 reconnaissance group 1st Squadron.
