I am interested in constructing a 1/7 scale, working model of HMS Victorious (R38) as she appeared between 1942-45. The vessel would be designed to operate scale model aircraft appropriate for the time period and be navigated from a station in the ship's island versus remotely. I would like to make the model as accurate as possible with regards to hull form but I am having difficulty in finding line drawings or any other construction plans for the vessel. Also, having never built a scale model before I am looking for advice with regards to making scale gun mounts, ships boats, etc.
