and some big guns, the 16.1-inch ones.


Note that while all battleships from Tosa on supposed to be armed with the improved Turret where canceled many mounts where actually already completed at the time, some where used as coastal artilleries, other whent to arm the modernized Nagato Class in the 30's.

Type 94 and 95 directors:

here's some directors, rangefinders, searchlights and other stuff... hope Raxar will not go mad for me posting them just after his

Well...
Nice job BB1987. I don't mind at all, I posted mine here after noticing they weren't on the sheet and thought they should be added, so I did some work on them to bring the mup to modern standards (you may have noticed that the side veiw of the Type 94 is from your Akizuki drawing). One thing though, on the Type 95, the side view for the early should look like this:

GREAT work!

thanks for doing the front side of the Akizuki rangefinder and the side of type 95 MG, on the other hand i still need to draw the front wiews of the 4,5 and 6 meters main gun rangefinders from the IJN CAs, and all rangefinders from the Nagato class battleship.
on the other side, it appears that many directors looked different from ship to ship, for example i've noticed that the type 94 HA fitted on Akizuki looked different fromt the one on Agano, wich in turn was differentfrom that fitted on the refitted CAs, altough they all are supposed to sport the same 4,5m rangefinder.

Yeah, I've noticed that too when I needed the main rangefinder for Yugumo, so I tried the one from the Yukikaze, which was completely different!
Maybe they were just trying to mess with us...

That's a possibility

I've updated the rangefinder mess with the missing ones from Nagato and other ijn ships, and to not let this post beign wasted here is also the 127mm type 89 A1 mod 2 enclosed gun from my never-ending work on the Shinyo CVE



the side wiew is without (left) and with (right) railings, wich one looks better?

Rails look good. I'll post the parts for Yamato and Kirishima when I complete those projects in a great wall o'parts.
