Outstanding work :shock:
This G-15 maybe represent the "paramount", the "best possible" (real or never-were) WW2 japanese CV Carrier design

I've been waiting to see how this would look. Really great work!
I think this is perhaps the most good looking of all the IJN carriers and I agree with Colombamike that these were probably the most all-rounded carriers designed by the Japanese, even if they were too late and perhaps too expensive for wartime construction.

The main drawback of the Taiho and Kai-Taiho CVs was a relatively small aircraft complement when compared to the US Essex Class (60, against 90/100). But this is due to the fact that many Japanese carrier-based aircrafts had no full folding wings. The B5N was for a long time the only true wing-folding IJN carrier-based plane, B7A and A7M folded only the wingtip, and the D4Y had neither (as far as I know).

How the Kai-Taiho might have looked once commissioned.

Camouflage pattern is based on a late-war scheme planned for IJN Taiho herself (Although Taiho was never painted this way because of her sinking during the Battle of the Philippine Sea). IJN Junyo was painted in a similar way.
