Just need to figure out the scale factor and tell them what you want. Looks like all the formers, etc., are on the drawings, although I didn't look real close at all of the plan.

Actually, those plans are from Aeromodeller, published in April 1961. Berkeley never had a kit of the Neptune.

Post by: 11290 on March 09, 2010, 11:47:14 PM: My dumb. Had Berkley on the brain while I was typing.

Either way though, plans are available. If the OP doesn't buy just might have to get the plans myself.

Built one for a guy from a Japanese kit back in the late 50's or so. As I remember it was a real bear to build as the parts and pieces didn't go together very well, which I later found out was pretty typical of those kits back then.

Post by: tom_weedman on March 10, 2010, 07:18:23 PM: Thanks guys for the responce this seems to be my only option there are kits with plans out there some where I talked to on person and they would not copy the plans to the kit for me said that it would take away from the value of the kit or would not sell the kit . My dad works for A print shop I have ackess to A copyer that has high resulutin to to make any size plan I need . Will keep you up dated and post photos as building starts
