Fast forward four years and I'm about to start the same Jingei kit, gents.
I'm OK with early-war fit, so I'll keep the 3" AA and not fret about placement of the lighter stuff.
Do we know if that director was atop the bridge, early war? Apparently not in earlier years.
No radar yet 1941 or 1942, I'd wager.
Most importantly, which IJN gray? John Snyder's very good booklet comes up short here; no mention of either Chogei or Jingei.
If all else fails I'll follow standard procedure: the color from whichever naval arsenal drydocked her last.
TIA
