HMS Hood

I have just been given a 1/96 scale of this iconic ship. It is mostly complete bar the fittings. What I am wanting is some plans (any scale as I can get altered to 1/96) showing plan and profile views so I can place the fittings correctly. I have the book Anatomy of the ship on her. I will be using as many as possible from John Haynes. Any help much appreciated.

Please stick some photos up - I'm sure lots of people on here (including me) would love to see it!

What period is the kit designed for? She had several refits and upgrades to armament plus some of the 5.5inch guns were removed at one point, and there was a projected modernisation (frustrated by the war's start and subsequent sinking by Bismark) where the current thinking is that she would get a new tower, twin 4.5inch turrets and aircraft handling systems like her cousin Renown.
BFGStew is building one as well, so it will be interesting to compare notes and see yet more battleships in miniature :}

Looking at the model and my Anatomy of Ships book I think they were trying for 1939/40. So will run with that. I will need to do some alterations to the deck and superstructure lay out as when it was built in 1970 I do not think there was the details we can get today available.

A few photos as requested.
