Hello Kiwi,
beautiful work of a beautiful ship! Richelieu will be sailing the southern seas once again, yeah!
I'm not sure where you got your plans from, but, regarding litterature, René Sarnet Book is a must as well as Robert Dumas:
ISBN 2-909675-75-0
ISBN 2-909675-32-7
Both out of prints, but sometimes available on EBay. They comprise hundreds of pictures of the actual ship.
If you had these references, and if you are open to a bit of positive criticism, the paint job on starboard is not correct:
Also, the ship was painted with spray guns.
Anyhow, I fancy myself as a bit of a buff on 1943's (October especially) Richelieu, so, if you need any data, any photos, please ask.
Also, do not forget to get yourself the Richelieu afficionado's collection of sailor's badges!
Ignore the 20mm shell, that's German (You know them: they always pop in when you least expect them...
)
or an original "Bachi":
Cheers,
Serge
