References I have agree that the plan was for two twin 100mm mounts. I've no visual sources at hand so can't say what they would have looked like so whether the planned twin 100mm mounts were enclosed or open-backed I can't say.
Dima, I have in front of me now photographs of Volta taken in August 1939 and August 1941 from the book I mentioned in my previous post, I also have in front of me another photo of Volta in circa 1938-39 in 'Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1922-1946'. An all three photos the portholes match ...

As a related topic, only on December 14 2012 did the Polish AF finally take the last of its An-2s out of service. It was the longest ever serving type in the Polish AF.
Dima, Perhaps you're confused a little. We term 'Real Designs' ships which are 'real' as opposed to drawing board plans and ships that were never completed. All good SB drawings are based on plans AND photographic evidence, the photographs capture more detail and resolve more issues than any bluepri...
Looking very fine, the resized HMGs look better too (in my eyes at least!). Bill, Miho is right, you are still using the old 2pdr pom-pom mount, the newer one should fit better and look better too.
Bill's explanation of the recess might solve our barrel problem. From my scalings this morning the mount seems to be slightly too big, but unless we can find concrete dimensions I'd be loath to resize based on a couple of resized plans (errors inherent somewhere) or by rule of thumb. Bill, great wor...
I can't remember how much I resized it for the County Class drawings, I know I made it smaller and it seemed a far better fit when I pasted onto a resized plan. 10 pixels sounds a large error and when I experimented by resizing the current mount by 10 pix overall, barrel alone and on turret length a...
