??? '??????'/'??????'?

How would you write Haguro?

In russian it writes "??????"

Andrew, regarding your question it's Hiragana. The heavy cruiser you see on the picture is not Myoko but Ashigara back in 1937 at Portsmouth England. I'm seeing 4 Hiragana characters and i believe is the ship's name. The name in kanji would've had 2 symbols though.

On my model i made the mistake of adding 2 Hiragana characters though..

I have this picture and a lot of over with Ashigara in 1937, were we can see ship's name at cutters/boats.
Yes, this was ship's name.
Hasegawa in its decal gives 16 ship's names for each cruiser for cutters, motor boats/launches. So I use all of them for Haguro.

- installed hooks and pulleys at aft anchor davits
- make and install jack using different decal elements
- install swinging boom with rigging (working guys)
