Scale drawings of Whitby Class and Type 61

[davepb]

Hi, did Bob Sweet ever do drawings of the two classes for his series in Scale Models, or in Model Maker or Model Boats?

If so, has anyone got a scan of them that they could send me for a project I'm working on.

Thanks, Dave

I have managed to get copies of the RA Sweet drawings, but I would like to get hold of full hull drawings. Any ideas?

The Type 61 was covered in Airfix Mag. These are online here -

They are only waterline, but the hull was similar to the Whitby and Leander below the waterline.

You can get drawing of the Rothsay Class HMS Plymouth(which had the same hull as the Whitby) from Jecobin, They will supply other scales if you ask them -

The type 61 is very differant from the type 12. Under the waterline

a few of my freinds served on either The type 41 or 61

Scalewarship.com sell drawing for these ships

Hope this helps
