Scale 1/144 is rather unusual for ship plans. You almost certainly will have to rescale (commercial ?) plans that are typically drawn in 1/100 or 1/200.

I expect that as Weflack mentions this might be an unusual plan scale, it is as you know a fairly common kit scale for destroyers etc in the imperial dimension kit world. I scratch built a DMS in this scale as the overall hull size could be printed on my printer in four sections and I could share 3D files and info with friends who were working in this scale. Scharnhorst in 1:144 would be a good sized model. In the US Office supply outlets often have the capability to scan and reprint in the desired scale.

Here's a solution for you...there is a RC Scale warship combat forum that has them for free download it would appear:

https : / / rcwarshipcombat. com/FreeWarshipPlans/?page=2

(Note, I have broken the link as I'm not sure about linking to another forum within this forum.)

Also, you'll need to register on the other site to be able to access them.

You'll need to scale them and sent to a print company.

And...if you want the fiberglass hull already built, you can go here:

https://battlersconnection.com/dkm-scharnhorst/

Includes: "Hull Kit: Includes fiberglass hull, resin main, secondary, and AA turrets, and detailed plans"

They also sell a "Hardware kit" : https://battlersconnection.com/dkm-scha ... dware-kit/

For $300, you get the hull, running hardware, plans, and basic upper deck details.
