This model differs form a similar one, usually found in naval literature, mounting 6/381, possibly identified by Bob Henneman as Design 45367, falling in between the 1928 BC design for the RM and the 1933 8 x 13.5in BC design

That’s a great looking ship! Would you happen to have references as to where I can read more about that battlecruiser design, the design 45367 battlecruiser and the 1928 and 1933 battlecruiser designs? I’m very interested in Italian battlecruiser designs
well, this is not a well covered topic. A good start point is this board, as Richard should have saved the content of the battlecruiser site: http://alltheworldsbattlecruisers.yuku.com; For this specific design there is no documentation I am aware of; some of the other designs will be covered here in the future. Thanks for the interest.
Of course, there are the official Italian Navy book on capital ships, and the last effort on the Littorio class:
but the BC topic is a side topic.
Thanks! I’m not fluent in Italian and can’t really afford a 200e book either, but I’ll see what I can figure out. I’m trying to gather as much information as I can on the 1933 BC design (at least as many specs and diagrams as possible) because I want to try and see how it could be implemented into World of Warships.
75 €, actually :D: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=20357641069&clickid=1YcS2Nyj4UJ-2VBSdsUxERlSUkk39hVJFzzcWY0&cm_mmc=aff-_-ir-_-73934-_-77797&ref=imprad73934&afn_sr=impact
Do you actually know of a battlecruiser design for the Regia Marina which was going to use four of the triple turrets being taken out of the Caio Duilio class for reconstruction?
I’ve found drawings like this for it:
It is a fantasy design, AFAIK.
