Garlic, I found some AA weapons error in your drawing
Foch "as commissioned by 1931" very unlikely to carry some twin or quadruple 13,2mm MG mounts
(these mount only available by 1933-1936...)

Hello again

The light AA mounts (two on the quarterdeck, one on the forecastle) are single 37mm AA (Mod.1925 I think; the ones I used are from Redhorse's Dunkerque). I used the same ones on the Duquesne amidships; the 13.2mm twins on the Duquesne are at the same location as the 37mm on the Foch, but look different. I unfortunately have no exact drawings of the early french 37mm; if it looks significantly different from the one on the Dunkerque, maybe you can let me know.

Greetings

I agree, Cyber...both the French and Italian warships of this time period and during the war were absolute beauties.

Hello again

Edited the light AA, they now look like the older Mle.1925 37mm. And the stern lines, thanks to bezobrazov's input.

And the next one:

Very nice, but I'm still waiting for the as-built version of the Suffren. Btw, isn't the upper-level bridge window row straight with the front face, instead of slanted? The photos of the ships clearly seem to indicate just that.

Hello

Edited - don't know why I did that to the bridge windows, of course they are not inclined.
Concerning the Suffren: A little patience please, I just want to finish her three short-hulled sisters first. Suffren comes next. Maybe two weeks from now, barring unexpected natural disasters.
