There was a Profile Morskie for the Caio Duilio that was pretty good. You'll have to search the web for it though - it isn't listed at either WhiteEnsignModels.com or PacificFront.com which used to have it. You can also check Shipcamouflage.com. There are some plans listed at Taubmansonline.com. They are ANB plans which are usually pretty good, although it's not clear if they are for the WWI or WWII version.
