Looking for books of ship compartments/blueprints/something

Post by Jh5kRadio »

It's literally that. I'm looking for a detailed book on the insides of a ship. I'm building a model that can be looked inside of. I've seen many a detailed outside model, but I can never seem to find anything regarding the inside.

Preferably books of ships from WWII. Even more preferably books of IJN ships. If I'm being more specific, however...

IJN Ashigara
IJN Akagi
IJN Shigure
Soviet Cruiser Kirov (I know it's not IJN. I still want to have a knack at this one at some point.)

Those are the ships I would want to look at, if I had to be specific.

Hell, even if not books, just something where I could find a detailed-enough view of the inside of the ship, really.

Maybe contact " rritchie71". He built a 1/72 Kirov and has photos of plans posted with his build.
