I wonder if the ship, after the last modernization, had armor plates instead of railings on the platforms of anti-aircraft guns? There are few photos of this ship from that period and I can't see it exactly. I have a set of Hasegawa and Eduard photo-etched parts (Eduard to the 1940 version).
Eduard swaps on a double platform for railings, but Hasegawa does not.
