Wanting to get copies of plans for the ROMA.
Any scale as can enlarge up to 1/96. Also some places for books for reference.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks.
Just found this site. Are they reliable and good quality. Look great from what I have seen. Marketing as Black Dragon. Correct.

I bought this book for a friend. It is very good but seems to have shot up in price. Not sure how good the Kindle version would be.

Hi Adrian.
 There is a card kit for it which has the frames for building a full hull. There is also a plastic kit for reference. and a working model in USA.

Adrian,

http://www.anb-online.it/navi-da-guerra/corazzate/0232-roma-l-f-t-24070-m-1100/?lang=en

might be worth tying. I have a few sets of ANB plans that are quite good.

[Umi_Ryuzuki]

Somewhere there is a scrap of paper that has 99% good frame lines...
I will search for it and see  if it will scan...

[kiwi96]

Thanks everyone for all replies. Very helpful..
Research file started already.

[Sandy]

That is an excellent book, Andy.
 
Ye gads, it has hot up in price. Not quite sure it is worth that money though.
 
It was much cheaper a couple of years ago.

I have a few of their books, and I do think they are quite good, if, in some respects, confusing.
 
I have not seen plans, but I suspect they will be good.
 
Glad you seem to have had quiet a bit of help.
 
Try here too.

Personally I think Ermingo Bagnascos Littorio class book is one of best reference books I own especially in English. The fold out sections of the 3D views, plans and particularly the 1/96 scale model in the book are stunning. Always wanted to build one but space has always been the main issue for a 1/96 scale version so I've had to make do with a 1/700 scale version instead.
Please please please if you do build one please do a build log of her, I think these ships are so beautiful to look at.

[Umi_Ryuzuki]

Went two rounds with a box, and found lots of references for ships and models, but
none for the the Littorio class...    . I don't think it would be with the rolled plans...
I will have a go at that box later.

[kiwi96]

Thanks everyone again. Great stuff to ponder over. Where to start..

[ballastanksian]

Start at the keel! Seriously though, start by checking your frame widths match the length and width of the top view plan, check photos for indents and/or protrusions in the hull and remember to reduce the frames and top view plans to allow for plank thickness. I am sure there aare other things to consider as well !

[Sandy]

Start with a build board. 

[kiwi96]

Again thanks for all you help.

Have decided on the following.
These Plans,
Prifilemorskie  ( Black Dragon)
This Book,
The Littorio Class
Italy's Last and Largest Battleships.  1937-1948.

[Umi_Ryuzuki]

Did you find what you needed?


Another possible book is,

Orizzonte Mare. Navi italiane 2 guerra mondiale 3/I. Corazzate Classe Vittorio Veneto. Parte Prima.Gay, Franco Published by Edizione Bizzarrei, Roma, 1973

.

These stern frames may have come from this book..

Also, Found these modeler frames.
