HMS Ark Royal model - help needed

[mor54]

Hi all,

I am one of the "passive" members to this forum. Living in Israel, and interested in military history and paper modeling, I am building a 1:300 scale model of HMS Ark Royal (3), and posted it in a paper modeling forum -

I am trying to make it accurate and detailed as possible, and will appreciate your help with information on the following:
- Bridge detail pictures / drawings
- Color of boats, rafts, and AA directors
- AA guns (pom-pom) in front of the bridge, and their shelters

Thanks for any help,

Shalom Mor

Here is a slightly different 1941 schematic that might be of interest...
