I’m working up this very version, I hope that mine turns out half as well as yours did. I could have swore that the instructions called for using the BLUE rib stripes on both the upper and lower sides, I see you used the PURPLE for your lowers, these are certainly an exercise in decaling. I’ve been putting off trying to use the PE for the machine guns, they look very tricky. What did you use for your dark green? I used Tamiya’s IJN green.
