: The plans I bought from Taubmans are 1/100 and have a seal in the upper right corner: Assocacione Navimodellisti Bolognesi; Centro Italiano Studi E Recerche Navali. They are unsigned and the only other mark is in the bottom right corner indicating that they are based on the 1911 plans, although they show the modified staterooms on the B deck and enclosed promanade forward on A-deck. The only inacuracy that I can see is that they show the Restraunt Promanade where the Parisian Restraunt was. Other than that, they look pretty good including the deck fittings, hatch covers, and crane rests. They also include the window and porthole placement. Even though the seal is Italian, all the other markings are in English. Unfortunately they do not include all the boat deck roofs and only go to the C-deck (Well Deck). The Boat deck is the part that I am having the hardest time with. No one shows what the top of the boat deck structures looked like or the exact ventilator and other equipment placements. All deck equipment is shown otherwise.
: The rigging plan is the same as the H&W but twice the size and slightly better quality. Taubman also includes the hull lines but I don't remember how many contours are represented. There is also a detailed plan of the 30' lifeboat (at 1/6 scale) and drawings of the engineroom (Why?). Overall, they seem to be very good quality, which for $80.00 they should be.
: Well, back to the research.

Thank you very much Bob and Duane. I will buy both of the sets. Taubmans for the scale (1:100 is the scale I will build) Bobs because all the details of this recent research have been added.
