Thanks guys, here are some more:

Atago 1942:


Takao 1943:


Takao 1945:



only Atago 1944 and Maya 1944 as a CAAA to go. (or at least that could be her denomination if i take the Atlantas CLAAs for name reference )
i'm still considering a 1937 version of Chokai, and, at a later date, if i ever learn how to do camo a 1945 version of Takao with the full camouflage scheme she sported at the end of the war.

I'll do the camo if you'd like. Be nice to flex my drawing muscles again. Always had a thing for the Jap CAs anyway!

i'd be honored. it will make the 1945 Takao shine in all her glory.

[emperor_andreas]

Very nice drawings! After this, only the Tones and the Furutakas are left, then we'll have all the IJN CAs!

[Colosseum]

Cool, I'll try to give it a try later. No promises though... I'm so busy I can't find time to do laundry lately!

[BB1987]

Take your time and if you don't heve the time to do just let me know, i really appreciate your offer (you have also a PM).

Meanwhile, here is Atago as of 1944 after her final refit:


As only Maya as an anti-aircraft cruiser (and maybe 1937 Chokai) is missing i have updated all the drawings in the first page removing the black boot topping to those ships who where drawn before Bezo confirmed that it was not there, also added the Nakajima E8N to the 1930's versions and corrected some minor issues on other drawings; also added explaining text to each ship as usual.

[emperor_andreas]

Great work, as always! Looking forward to Maya in 1944 (might see something from me when she's posted... ) and hark...doth that be the promised E8N in the Maya 1933 drawing?

[BB1987]

Yes (also 1939 Takao), see also the planebucket discussion thread, there are two camouflaged versions of the E8N.
