    Anyone got any good sources for pictures of the 90mm AA guns on the littorio class battleships? I am working on modeling them up in the hope of taking it to a mold when it is ready but I want to get it right. I am having trouble finding good pictures of the back end of the turret for those AA guns and the plans / pictures I have found are ambiguous at best.

    thanks
    Greg

    I was going to suggest this cool book on the Littorio, then realized you're the one who told me about it. I don't think we have anything better in any of our book sources here.

    Have you tried the book Warship Pictorial #37, RN Roma? I don't have a copy, but it sells for around $16-$17.
    Pacific Front Hobbies (now Free Time Hobbies) is out of stock on this, but I see a copy available on ebay:

    It might have what you are looking for.
    Good luck,
