Alternate camouflage skin for Stuart's IJN Akitsushima.
This pack contains alternate skins for IJA Akitsushima.
This skin is based on photos that I found on the web.
Akitsushima's camouflage was an extra ordinary among IJN warships specially during the early period or war.
It was Akitsushima's first captain, Capt. Haruo Mayuzumi's own idea and decision to paint unique camouflage on her.
It is said that he explained the reason to put camouflage on her is to protect her from enemy attack as mimic coloring of insects since her armament is not so strong.
Since camouflage paint was very rare among IJN warships at that time, she was misidentified as enemy ship and almost attacked by cruisers of IJN TF8 near Guadalcanal in 1942.
As such, She is very rare and unique ship and has a interesting stories.
Thank you very much Stuart!!!
Because of my lack skills of painting, documents and photos at that time, it's not 100% historically accurate. Sorry about it.
Installation: Just make a copy and paste texture file to texture holder.
Do not forget to make a copy of original file for backup.

Stuart, Thank you for your kind permission for repaint.
Enjoy!
