yeah that was most puzzling questions i had to dealt with it. as most of informations and pictures of FUSO , are referring to Russ-Japanese War. so for me, whom it's building 1984 version, it's very difficult to build the model. every glueing could be disaster.

hehehehe

His conclusion is , Fuso's captain requested upgrades and list of new armaments to be installed, but due to urgency of war with China, and priority of the ship. he doubt FUSO got any major upgrade. he also email me a list of original scanned captain and Navy department transcript/ ship log, to back up his claims. if needed i can email you those transcript..
