Japanese Cruiser Type (Problem solved:it is the misprint-class from Guadalcanal)

[vacilar]

My Set includes two different styles of a japanese cruiser

One seems to be the heavy cruiser Takao (1932)

But, i can`t identify the lower one?

post scriptum edit: why is this cruiser the same type like an american cruiser (USS Portland) ? I never noticed this issue

The cruiser below is a special camouflage ship for the american player. The ship shall look like a japanese ship (because of the color) but in effect it is an american one! It refers to a navy unit of the so called Misprint-Class. :wink:

The cruisers in A&A Guadalcanal (the game which inaugurated the cruiser unit) were accidentally manufactured in the wrong colours.  The Japanese-design cruiser was green and the American-design cruiser was orange.

Excellent. I knew someone would know the answer; I had no idea.
Well done Dedo and Marc!
