Where can you get deck plans of ww 2 aircraft carriers?

Question

and how do you convert the real lenght brerh etc to the scale of 1/72

Answer 1

Converting scale is easy...  For 1/72,  just divide the measurement of the real thing by 72.

For example, a World War II-era long-hull U.S. Essex-class carrier is 888 feet long.  Divide that by 72, and the 1/72 model of that carrier would be 12.3333 feet long.

As far as deck plans go..  They actually have blueprints of those on ebay:  http://stores.ebay.ca/PLANS-N-THINGS_air...

Hope this helps some!
