Any info would be great.

Mainly working of the plans from Floating Drydock (these were the original build plans) and also reference photos from across the internet.

Thanks in Advance

I have done this many times with Floating Drydock drawings in order to use them for creating Shipbucket format drawings. Rarely (if ever) has Floating Drydock had any plans available digitally. I have almost always had to order paper copies and then have them scanned. I found that "reprographics" services (at least in the USA) were usually able to scan the drawings onto a thumb drive, or make them available online for a low cost. I would usually pay about $10 per plan but it's worth it to get them digitally.
Yeah, the issue that I live in Hungary so I have to pay quite a sum for the transport fee as well as the VAT and then find someone with a big enough scanner to scan them.

I see, Thanks. Are these physical copies or can be acquired digitally? I'm a digital artist and I have more use of these material digitally then physically.

Try Floating Drydock they have many different drawings of many Naval ships.

Also The Scale Shipyard makes a 1/96 scale model that can be built to be RC'd. He also sells many fittings to help build the model as well, and other fittings can bought from Shape Ways.

There are kits of the Leahy class out there you can purchase and build, though most, if not all, appear to be out of production so you'll have to resort to EBay or the Trading Post forum here. If you are talking about a specific model that has already been built, then you will have to specify which one and directly contact the builder of the model.

I am hoping for a new JAG/Admiralty Modelworks kits - should be much better than CyberHobby/Dragon.
Freetime Hobbies has the Wave Line/Pit Road resin kit for sale, still.

I agree with Dan. A Leahy class CG would be an excellent addition to the Cyber Hobby cold war series.
