Ok small technical question the model is obviuosly based on the ship after the january 1944 refit where it lost two 15 inch triple gun mounts to be replaced by the major upgrade of antiaircraft armament.
The question is, is the ships time frame based on the time it took part in the late october 1944 operations with her sister ship Musashi[before and after musashi,s sinking] or during her last voyage on the ten-ichigo operation, as the samuri pennant seems to be missing and the white chrysanthemum crest has not been added to the funnel. Its not a big deal really im just trying to put it in the correct time frame.
