Magnificent!
However, I don't think you included the fact that she, like the other carriers, was scuttled.

This a very good piece of work, I love the shading and the top-view is very well done too.
I really must redraw those ancient and quite ugly Zeros and Vals at some point.

Thank you for the report, I've added the mast and boats I omitted. But the foredeck was really very large, so I kept it unchanged.
@WWII44
I will surely draw Hiryu, the rest of the ships is already done by others I think.
they have been drawn(exept the Zuikaku) but I think they be updated.

I hate doing this post, because this is a such beautiful drawing; please don't take it as an attempt to depreciate your work, that's absolutely not my intent.
Check the flight deck alignement in the top view, because bow and stern does not line up (the bow is some 9 pixel higher than it should be) and the flight deck should be angled more on the port side than the starboard one.

Some other minor things does not match too (mainly directors and rangefinders).

Also, on the top view the masts and the arresting gear comes from the 1943/1944 IJN Shinyo drawing; the side view features the 5-inch gun sponsons, bow, blige keel, propellers and propellers struts from the G6/G8 carrier projects. There is absolutely no issue at all in using those parts, anyone is absolutely free to do whatever he might want to with them, they just need crediting.

Hope you'll forgive me for writing this, once done the Hiryu will be a gem too, i'm sure of it.

Nice work, but the D3A has been updated.

Top center is marked for Soryu. I believe the B5N had similar markings.

Beautiful drawing Pombo. But I have to agree with BB1987 according differences in length between side view and top view :?
But I will also second Bombheads wish regarding the port side :D

So I fixed some errors (the position of the bow, the length of the ship, directors and rangefinders, aircrafts, credits). If you see other irregularities, please notify me.

@BB1987
Sorry that I'm robbing your ship, but they are so awesome and I am so lazy... :mrgreen: Of your drawings, I really used a lot. So I said deservedly in the credits. :arrow:

@Bombhead
Create a port side? I have something to think about. :twisted:

@Raxar
Thank you for the drawings of D3A Val

PS: I'm sorry for my English
