The kit has many errors plus it is wrong in the shape of several features of the ship , like the bow area, the second deck level, the shape of the superstructure, and probably the overall measurements, but this was what i was given to work with, so i did my best to correct as many flaws as possible.The dark color as one can tell from the pictures, which i had a very hard time to get , is very effective in blending the ship with the sea surface and giving the Kamikaze planes a target to aim at, when coming down from altitude.
