i'm planning to draw some light carriers sometime in the future (and if so they will be featured in an appropriate thread), Shoho is currently not one of them, never say never tough...

Kido Butai would also be awsome.

Some of these have already been drawn. Akagi and Kaga have been drawn both as completed with three flight decks and as reconstructed, but Kaga's WWII version needs updating. The Shokaku-class and the Unryu-class are also represented on the main site, but they also need updating.

the Unryu-class was not part of Kido Butai(at least not the infamous six), the Soryu, Hiryu, and Zuikaku are the only ones that haven't been done.

progressing with Shinyo, now coming with the proper template:

what's left to be done concerns only the enclosed 25mm machine guns mounts, whose references i did not managed to find anywhere; if anyone is in possess of plans permitting me to draw a side and top view of those particular mounts (Erusia did the front view for Yamato) it would be highly appreciated.

it's also possible that a port-side view will come someday, but it will be an harder task since i have to craft it from blurred pics.
