    Hello! Looking for plans for the second batch of Condietteri Italian light cruisers. Would also accept the first batch (close enough) the Barbiano/Gussiano class. These are the ones with funky ram-style bow and the very swept forward funnel. Danke!

    I will check when I get home. I know for a fact that I have the larger Italian cruisers, and I think I have some for an Italian CL, but won't commit until I can see them for myself.

    That would be much appreciated. Acquired an old but very nice wooden hull for her and would be a very pretty ship. Very similar to my Agano in performance but Italian.

    I will check my plans collection when I get back from leave. IIRC the Luigi Cadorna has an identical hull to the Giussano, just with a simplified superstructure and no aircraft hangar underneath the bridge. Overall armament and layout was virtually identical.

    I have plan and profile views of the Condottieri class cruisers, plus pics of them. They are of the '3rd group', though. Specifically Raimondo Montecuccoli (for the plans). Pics are varied.

    That would be great! I remember a cadorna from Western, so should be something out there...

    That's on my list of ships I'd like to build. It's a long list, but it is on there ;) A the moment I've got cruiser galore! (not complaining)
