Response to Need help painting guide for 1/700 japan carriers WWII

Instructions can be usually found on this site:
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/

Shinano -http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10001804
Junyo -http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10001806
Zuikaku -http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10083110
Akagi -http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10000480
Akagi(pre-war)http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10070221

Ship overall gray color is based on which shipyard they were built in or last overhauled. Akagi 1941 for example would be Sasebo Gray.

For deck markings, I've found Futabasha's IJN Carrier complete guide (ISBN 4-575-47759-1) better than instruction guides in the kits. It is in Japanese, but you'd want it for the Computer Graphic images of the ships.
