Armament was augmented with additional AA guns during WWII.
The model will be armed as follows:
six 2 x 4" AA
four 8 x 2 pdr pom-pom AA
12 x 1 x 20 mm Oerlikon AA

Model still needs much work so not likely to be released before 2016.
I have an unarmed model working in the game, just to test out the flight deck operation with the "bump".
Seems to work ok. Needed to model a smooth transition curve between the levels to prevent the aircraft ripping off their undercarriage.

I am still collecting reference photos.
Any examples of good quality close up shots (WWII era) that you come across please post.
General shots distance shots are of limited use. I have a lot of those already.

Came across this good image - Though its obviously back to front. :)
Not sure of the location. US east coast somewhere?
Lots of useful detail though.


Another useful detail shot - barely recognisable as Furious, but it shows the splinter shields around the forward 4in gun clearly.

Top image is HMS Glorious bridge structure probably 1936 SCW Neutrality Patrol.
Middle image shows HMS Furious before 1939, prior to the 5.5in guns being replaced by 4in dual purpose guns.
Lower image is HMS Furious 1918-1921 configuration.
