Does anyone know where to find very detailed drawings of the Yamato? Most of my sources are too blurry or too small to get accurate views of small parts. I would really appreciate the help.

I would have gone with photos of the 1;350 models, of which there are some excellent examples out there, but they all have photos from strange angles.

Also search for pictures of the Yamato museum at Kure, there is a 1:10 scale model of the Yamato herself as she looked in 1945, probably the most accurate and reliable around.
