Howdy Mike, I can not agree more, IJN Carriers are unique and for that reason, I have a strong attraction to them. Glad to see you looking in and I hope for any suggestions you may wish to add.
Rick

Had some time today to work on the Shokaku......have all the parts that required lamination glued up, the rest of the Island structure is cut out and am now using my Japanese Hole Punch to open up the port holes, which will then be lined w/fine wire and backed w/film.
Of the tools I have purchased, this is one of my fav's.

I am torn about how to depiect the vessel, as she looked @ the Attack on Pearl Harbor or as she appeared @ her last battle. Any suggestions?

As I have researched, @ the attack on Pearl Harbor, I do not see the Mattress Radar, but @ the end of her career, she sported this piece of equipment. Also I have found 2 photos that show the Island in sections covered w/sand bags while attacking. Pearl Harbor.

Not sand bags, but rolled up sleeping hammocks for protection against flying splinters in case the wooden flight deck took bomb damage. This "soft armor" was frequently used during the Age of Sail -- you would usually see hammock racks alongside the railings. Even the USS Constitution sported them amidships until her bulwarks were raised in later refits.

As for which version, I believe the Pearl Harbor carriers had (mostly) natural wood flight decks. The ones that survived until late in the war had their flight decks painted in camouflage. And naturally their AA armament was increased as the war continued.
