That depends on the timeframe you wish to model. The Kagero kit is early war fit, and, with some mods, can be used to model various fits up through sometime in 1943. After that, it would be best to switch to a Yukikaze kit, which is a very late war version.
If you want to use the hiragana writing on the sides, then you need the early war Kagero kit.
And, to be more specific, mid to late 1941 is the window of time in which these ships carried both a degaussing cable and the hiragana writing. Going further, Nowaki's degaussing cable pattern was the same as Yukikaze's (and that of the Kagero kit, since both kits use the exact same hull tooling.) Arashi's pattern is undocumented, AFAIK.
HTH.
I was looking at the time of Midway 1942, when both were escorts of Nagumo's task force.
