Just a word to try and clear up some misconceptions on the Hahn plans. I have been getting orders from people for the 1/350th set, then a complaint after they received them. Some people think that the 1/350th sets are the exact same as the larger sets, they are not. The 1/350th set is on one piece of paper at about 12 Sq. feet. it does not show the fore and aft projections or the hull frames for building the hull. It does show the shell plates and doors however.
The purpose of the 1/350th set is not for scratch building, but for the Minicraft modeler who needs a tool for super detailing their model. I have corrected the plan order section of the web page and have also informed the Modeler's Boatyard. I hope I didn't cause too many problems with this.
It must also be mentioned that though the 1/350th set is great, it loses some of the clarity in the tight areas. For the best detail, the larger sizes are better.
