Hi mate!
I was just start to test your Shokaku repaint when I look this new and very promising tread!
I have started a similar project some times ago but I have it in stand bye due rl issue and rig troubles!
(I have about finish to reupdate my custom installation and after I'll need to start to upgrade my GPU....looking at my free time and skill the end of the month is an optimistic estimate to think recover my WIP!)
Lines below editedAbout the work I have done , I only changed the HSFX Kaga into Shokaku , changed the island location from right to left , the island shape from Shokaku back to the Akagi with a little tweak in xyz dimension to make it similar at the Soryu class and some minor change in crane and wire/net location!
end editNo weapon/dimensional change started but only planned!
If you like to give it a look here is the link:

I hope that you can finish your project because is really needed for expanding the pacific environment!!!
I'll switch to a similar project about the Generic CVL deleting the island and changing the weapon to realize a more correct Tayho converted merchant!
About the gun in the artillery section there is the 2x25mm AA....can be it useful?
All the best!

EDIT 1
About 2x25 AA gun the IJN Akizuki have them....you can pick it also from there....
EDTI 2
I have test my work and I got some glitch on the island: no new one and rotated 90° left....surely due hier changes; anyway the shape of the second antifall net I added on the right end of the bridge and the reposition of the left one are correctly showed if you like to add it at the Shokaku/Zuikaku for historical purpose!
