These are technically of Pola, which varies from Zara only in the superstructure in minor ways. Functionally, they're the same, and are listed as the Zara class in shiplists.

Thanks Tugboat! Now, just how in heck does one figure out what that frame drawing is supposed to mean?
Hey, a non-french ship! Hoorah! I think I like Pola better than Zara, but both are smart looking little ships.
Thanks Tug! I've wanted to get some plans for these ships for a while, they're very pretty ships. But, alas, not Japanese.
I'm working on that part. Cleaning up plans for the Mikasa. I just have to straighten them out a bit, and mark where the ribs go.
I'd like a set of Kawachi plans, go back to a smaller/slower boat after I get done playing around with the Hiei and Yamashiro. But that probably wont be for a while.
Tugboat. i like the plans. are they based on fast gun? It looks like 21 ribs, is that 1/4" ribs for that?
They're based on what I got. If they work out to too many ribs for your rules set, make a couple of them 1/8", or just don't use one
NP... I had too many ribs for the rules with the 2 Evstafis, and I just converted 2 ribs to 1/8" in places where I didn't have to butt two sheets of balsa together, and it worked out fine.
The Zara plans are sweet. I'd like to see more Italian cruisers (and Japanese non Mogami) out there, rather then just the Mogami zerg.
They probably got broken when we moved servers; I can't fix it from work, but I will see what I can do when I get home.
There was an Italian destroyer, built in Italy, then sold to Russia. Very streamline, futuristic looking. Don't have name at moment.
