The "Anatomy of the ship Series" volumes on Takao will contain drawings of all mounts, plus, a host of general IJN details.

Looking at the same process re 25mm guns myself.
Slowly working on mounts for all 3 that will handle a few knocks eg RC and maybe wargaming with a couple of suitable mods.

You said you knew where to get the barrels from. Any chance of a link to same?

Regards
Tony
