USS San Diego, 1/350, Aotori Bunka

[DanCinSD]

Good evening all, I am in the planing stage of this new build.
It looks like I will try and do an Apr 1944 build. She will be in the ms 32 /24D camo. Verticals - Bk and Lt Grey 5L and Horizontals - Deck Blue 20B.
I still have many questions to find answers for!

Board member SgtRyan is building one. Unfortunately, he is only posting his progress on Facebook. So far he seems to like the kit.

question away & we'll see if we can provide the answers for you.

Asking away!
I see the big things for me in this build are to shorten the armor belt, get corrected 5".38s from modelmonkey.
I count 13 single 20mms with shields, 1 quad and 3 twin 40mm without shields. Depth charge throwers p/s removed. 2 roll off rack on the stern, does anyone know what mk roller racks she had?
2 x Mk-37 GD w/ Mk-4 radar. A SC-2 on her foremast and an SG on her mainmast.
Her boats and crane seemed to have been removed by 1944, they will be nice in the spares box.
As she will be full hull, the kit supplies 3 blade props but in CASF I'm reading they might have been 4 blade props. Any idea where to get 4 blade props from?
