This is the torpedo compartment. There are four openings for the torpedo launchers (grey tubes). the launchers can be place at either this position or the position shown below...
For displaying purpose, I'm not going to place the launchers at this position, but I definetly will if I'm doing a diorama. 
These are the anchor and chains. They were little pieces, but after putting together, they look incredible!
Put the anchors in place on both sides.
Now, paint the whole ship in Hull red. Then cover the hull with masking tape, and paint the uncovered parts in IJN Sasebo Arsenal Grey. The reason for painting the grey part red is to show the shade. When a thin coat of grey is airbrushed on, some places, especially at angles will slightly show the red color. It will make the grey look more like it has a little rust.I apologize for not being able to show pictures of painting the body here. I lost those pictures for some reason....
This is the front deck. It is not wooden deck, it's Linoleum Deck (亞麻油布甲板). the gold beam on the deck are the settlers (亞麻油布壓條). Add the gold beam on every linoleum deck. There are mold-on's on the deck. There's no need to sand them off. Simple place the beam over them. 
By the way, there are no PE parts for the beam. You'll have to make them. For me, I use the bottom of the hand rails in the YMW PE set. I figured that I should use the Chinese Brand, Lionroar's hand rails for detailing, so it's ok to destroy the YMW hand rails.
After all the beams are in place. Airbrush the XF-79 Linoleum Deck Brown over the decks.
Cover the deck with this masking sticker which was introduced to you in my previous post.
Paint the IJN grey over. Wait until dry, then peel the sticker off. I really like the result. it's clean and easy, but above all, it's saves time.Since the beams are metal parts, the paint doesn't hold onto the surface. Simply use an extra fine sandpaper to sand away the paint. The settlers are suppose to be in gold, so sand the PE to reveal the natural gold color.
