Looking for IJN Akagi hull lines / body plans

Hi everyone,

I am looking for the hull frames / body lines plan for the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi, but I've hit a dead end with the usual sources.

Here is what I have already tried:

Miyukikai: They have completely stopped selling their drawings and have no plans to reopen.

Kagero (Super Drawings in 3D): I have the book, but it does not contain the complete hull lines

Yuzuru Hiraga Digital Archive: The original blueprints are either incomplete, too distorted, or difficult to properly align for an accurate reconstruction.

Does anyone happen to have scans of the old Miyukikai plans, or perhaps the hull lines from the out-of-print Polish A.J. Press monographs or Japanese Gakken books?

Any help or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
