Hello gentelmen,

I need one smal advice. Recently i have recived Blueprints ( drawings ) for Royal Yugoslav navy destroyer Ljubljana and i will build it from skrach.
I have problem decideing what scale should build.

Personaly I fhink 1/96, so ship would be 1m long.
What do you think ?

I have also recived blueprints for Tegethoff /Viribus Unitis BB from WWI , this one will have to be build in 1/200 scale - i think

any advice

1 :96 for the destroyer sounds like a great choice in scale. There are several shops that have fittings and such that you can purchase to ease the amount of scatchbuilding you are doing.

As to the battleship...I am assumiong this is a World War 1 era....I would go 350 as you can pick up a couple of different kits from around that era (all those Russo-Japaneses war as well as the German Koenig class) that you can make copies of some of their parts to use
