Hiyo was laid down 10 months after Junyo, though they were launched 2 days apart. She was commissioned 6 weeks after Junyo.

Was it because Hiyo's conversion took longer?

Also I think I remember reading Hiyo was prone to engine problems like Ryuho so that could have caused the delay. Also if I am sure done a different ship yards then its a matter of the paperwork. If the merchant for Hiyo was requisitioned first the probably named class leader.

In march 1945, she'll still have her armament.

The kit is relatively straightforward right out of the box.

what do you mean by "retained armement"? Also,how easy is the tamiya model to build?

by **Dan K** » Fri Mar 13, 2020 6:57 am

If you are planning to represent her as of March, 1945, then I would think yes to camo and to armament.(Retained armament)

ok,if I want to do a what if repaired junyo,do I have to make the deck camouflage and do I have to remove the AA or not?
Thanks for your answer!

According to her TROM, camouflage was applied in April, 1945 (probably to her deck, as she was clearly wearing camo on her hull in December, 1944). The postwar photo below shows some remnants of camo on the flight deck. Her TROM also refers to the removal of her armament beginning on August 5th, for use elsewhere.

regarding the deck scheme,was it camouflaged in march 1945? and if repaired after this date,would it kept the AA or would they get remove?

by **thebunkerparodie** » Wed Mar 11, 2020 12:06 am

ok,I'll first go with the tamiya one

Well, as I wrote, only at Santa Cruz did their air groups approximate what they were designed for.

The Tamiya kit has stood the test of time very well, but the new Fujimi kits really are an improvement.

By planned I mean the one they were suppose to have when the convertion started. How good is the tamiya kit (planning to do a somewhat what if repaired junyo after march 1945) ?

by **Dan K** » Tue Mar 10, 2020 11:36 am

Do you mean planned air group? The only time they seem to have had a full complement is for the the Battle of Santa Cruz.

Bu I could be wrong about that.

did junyo/hiyo ever had all of the planified plane on board or not?

Junyo along side � original and special

by **Dan K** » Sun Sep 08, 2019 8:45 am

Looks effective. The postwar view of Junyo's flight deck is clearly more worn from lack of maintenance.

by **Frank381** » Sat Sep 07, 2019 8:14 am

adjustment of the camouflage scheme. I think it might have looked like this...basic ist the photo from Modelart No.63 page 78/79
