Destroyer Water Oni is so fucked.

possible kai ni for Nagamon?

Nagato got a K2?

No KaiNi, I think this is babby Nagamon. The actual battleship Nagato had the distinct serpentine funnel fitted in 1924 and removed during the 1930s. Perhaps someone could translate this tweet and shed some light on the whole thing: https://twitter.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/668605971137105921

I punched that into Bing Translate and got this:

1 / 700 model world, water line and new collaboration is in preparation. Young little youth Flex chimney nagato. The nagato class battleship "nagato" was familiar to many people at the time. In the near future from aoshima guide will show!

Perhaps someone with experience in online translators can parse this into actual English.

Tamiya Waterline series is producing a 1/700 model of the "young" Nagato back when she still had her serpentine funnel. Tis just a promo art.

Announcement of Nagato getting a 1/700 scale Water Line ver. model kit by Aoshima.

Original tweet:

1/700艦船模型の世界、ウォーターラインシリーズとの新しいコラボを準備中です。少し若い「屈曲煙突」時代のヤング長門……長門型戦艦「長門」は、当時の多くの人達に親しまれました。近日中にアオシマさんから詳細をご案内予定です！

This is something like:

We are working on a new collaboration with Waterline Series, in the world of 1/700 model warships. Nagato in her younger days, with a bending funnel... The young Nagato-class battleship, Nagato was loved by many. In the near future, Aoshima-san will announce the details!

awww

Thanks for the translations everyone!

I think it'd be really neat to see some of the ships in their younger forms in the game, like bendy-funnel Nagato here. The Kongou sisters in their battlecruiser forms, triple-flight deck Akagi and Kaga, Fusou and Yamashiro pre-padoga mast. They probably wouldn't be very useful as they'd all have lower stats than they currently have, but I'd still like to see it, especially the art.

Guess this will be a different mold to the previous Aoshima Kancolle 1/700 Nagato

Ah, I was mistaken.

Definitely not K2, serpentine funnel was a characteristic of pre-remodel Nagato.

I wonder if they'll even consider doing versions of them in-game. While they might have different stats, they'd have more potential to grow.

Actually... Her younger form doesn't look bad! Maybe her teenage years?

triple-flight deck Akagi

No, no, no, don't go there, really bad idea.
