Hallo,
I'm an Italian modelist. I've ordered model plans of CAPE GIRARDEAU and GORDON C.GREENE to TAUBMANSONLINE.COM. Now I would like to research every notice is possible about the two boat: cabin, interior deck, flags, bell, machin and so on. I'm interested to have photo, paint and know the history of these boats. Then I finished my search (I think about one year) I will choose that model build.
I wuold like to build a model more similar of the original with inside dectails.
Thank you very much for your help.
Sorry for my bad engllish.

I've just seen the photo of the model of the CAPE GIRARDEAU because I've contacted Mr. Franz Neumeier before write in this forum. I'd like to complete my search into one year and then, when I've studied very well the history and the steamboat I'll begin the model, becaouse I think that is necessary make a good research for build the model similar at the original.
