Yeah, I have seen this wateline model before. Here is a Japanese page (i hope its Jap, no offense if not) which shows the construction of the waterline model.

Also shows some pretty good "eral life" detail of what the ship really looked like. I think NF shoud also give the Kita some scouts - it clearly has some in real life! (edit: or maybe not, i can't see any cranes for the sea plane...)
And n00b warning - the Japs gave it guns - lolz, the IJN captain is teh n00b l0rd!
Tee out.
