I full heartedly agree with Colosseum's remark.
So thank you very much BB1987

That's Ashigara in 1937.


For the Spithead version i must add all the flags, but i have only B&W pictures, does someone has color references?

Amazing work! You have my permission to redraw the Tone class if you think they are out of spec.

Amazing! Now what would top the Ashigara, is the Rear Admiral's flag on the mainmast, and the flag buntings! But when I get home from work, I'll most definitely save this baby to my folder!

Thanks Emperor

also, i have decided to Show Nachi in 1941 instead of Haguro for a simple reason, the reference i found that was labeled for 1941 Haguro was instead for 1944 (wich i have already drawn) at the same time while searching pictures for 1937 Ashigara i stumbled upon a bunch of 1941 Nachi references.

edit:
Talking about Nachi, here she is in 1941 setup like i was saying previously.

I have to admit Matt's on to something. Promote this guy, and do it promptly, if you care! He deserves it wholly!

Bezo (don't you mind if i call you like that?) i suggest you to wait before saving the 1937 Ashigara into your folder or check here again within a couple of days because i realized i made a stupid error on her, she still have the 203mm/50 Type 3 mod.2 guns instead of the originals 200mm/50 Type 3 mod.1, the guns where replaced during the 1940 refit and not the 1936 one (i even know that but i stupidly think it was the opposite when i modified the 1944 version into the 1937 one).
The differences are quite few but i have not drawn the 200/50 mod.1 yet so she need that fix, i will do it soon tough as i'm starting the 1928 Nachi and the 1930 Haguro so once the guns are done i will update the Ashigara into the correct version.
