Thank you. Has it been drawn, or must I do it?
It has not, to my knowledge, been drawn.

I've just checked Friedman's Battleships and there's no pictures or drawings of the catapult... my gut instinct is that it should have its own, separate, drawing as it was probably vastly different - but given the lack of sources I don't think it's that big of a deal.
Do you think the catapult on the Omaha would be suitable?

Edit: The plane has been added. It´s rubbish if you ask me.

I'm really not sure what catapult would be best. This is an area that's not very well documented even on some of the USN cruisers.

It's up to you. At this scale it's not that big of a deal though.

I could try out the Omaha catapult and see how that looks. And then judge what seems to fit the most.

Yes, unless I find other important steps in the evolution of the already drawn ships, then the Wyoming class is next up.

I can't find any photos of the setup - that might help. Can you post the ones you found here?

Huh, given those images - I think the catapult you're using looks fine. I'm surprised how closely they seem to match.

After all, it`s only a catapult. A wire is pulled, launching the plane into the air. The times may change, but the principle is the same.
