Description
Mainstray cruiser type of the Earth Defence Forces at the time of the Gamillas war, these vessels received an upgrade pack after Yamato returned from it's voyage to Iscandar.The program initiated the following changes:
Replace the bow mounted 20cm shock cannon with a larger 28cm one, replacing the ineffective Twin 20cm Postron beam turrets with more powerful 20cm Twin Shock cannon turrets. Replace the CIWS gun mounts with 76mm twin and quad Pulse laser turrets as well as a pair of twin 12,7cm heavy pulse laser turrets drastically increase the ship anti strikecraft and anti-missile capability.
A pair of single torpedo tubes added aft to improve the ships fighting capability in the aft section or when chased.
The new Wave Motion engine, power core and shield generator drastically improved the usefulness and survivability of the class providing the EDF fleet versatile ship type until new classes emerge.
In the end the refit's new weapon system as follows:
1x1 28cm shock cannon
3x2 20cm shock cannons,
2x2 12,7cm heavy pulse lasers,
1x4,5x2 76mm pulse lasers,
6x torpedo tubes.

'd!
Hope to see what the Kongo class battleships would look like when refitted.
Especially on how you would tackle the bridge turret.

Yes that will questionable, I either leave it as it is if the new turrets mechanisms took up a large space or made a different modified turret

With the Yuunagi firing at angles in 2202 despite the lack of barrels I think you have room for a much more limited elevation range for the bridge turret. It would still need to be redesigned to an extent. Alternatively you can do what CanisD did on his refitted ships: i49.photobucket.com/albums/f25…

That would make an entire new class! Lot of work

What colour schemes should the 3 Kongo refits get? All the same or different?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Give the standard and AA refits this color: imgur.com/vS6qUDY and the anti-ship refit this color: imgur.com/eBaUeCk , adding white to the front part of the side turrets as well.

Here are the Kongo variants I'm working on:
The generic refit you requested:

The hull while larger, also contains many obstacles to place new kind of turrets but I still able to put a considerable amount of AA guns on her.
But by deleting the hanger, the space freed by it allows a number of other equipment to be installed:
Heavy AA variant:

There will be a 3rd pair of blisters between the two already present and which held the original CIWS armament.
Anti Ship variant:

Maybe I remove the two light AA guns as well under the bridge to emphatise more of the anti shipping sacrafice. On the other hand I've checked and there is actually enough space for two triple 12,7cm or 15-15,5cm or two twin 20cm turrets in place of the hanger. You can choose whcih turrets I should put there, and also what type, the older barrel-less turrets or the newer barrelled ones.

The generic one looks good, as well as the heavy AA.
As for the anti-ship one, I agree with removing the bridge light AA guns. Actually, maybe remove all other AA turrets except for the ones on the blisters, so it'd be just 8x2 76mm AA guns. I think the double 20cm turrets are good enough.
What do you think the names for the AA and anti-ship variants should be?

Which 20cm turrets? The barrelled ones or the barrel-less ones?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would not remove all 12,7cm Heavy pulse laser turrets instead one per side should remain.
As for names, that is a tough question as there seems to be no naming conventions for these ship types. Murasame was a destroyer name in the IJN and Intrepid a well as Ticonderoga was a carrier in the USN (the later reused as a missile cruiser) while there were no Defiant named ships in the USN.
I would say Ibuki, Ikoma or Mogami for the Anti ship variant and either Fiume, Trieste or Bolzano for the AA variant

Looking good so far. If I have to say something it's that the bottommost laser turret doesn't make too much sense as it seems the part its on is likely just for exhaust or something else that makes it lack a good hallway to access the turret.
If you could change the exhaust to look something like this: i.imgur.com/53OGuge.png that would be nice as well. I feel a slightly different engine exhaust would make the difference in power plant a bit more obvious.

On the bottom view, there are 4 hatches on that secondary engine / thruster section, I remember briefly in one scene they show a Murasame and maybe a Kongo took of from Earth so if there is enough space for a landing gear there should be enough space or the power couplings of the Pulse laser turret.
It would be better if you provide much larger pictures as I barely see anything of that small scale, and enlarging it will drastically reduce the quality and details.

All it is are lines similar to the grey bits on the Andromeda on the "first" section of the stern cone. imgur.com/2YMfBxq The edits you'd need to make are just removing the fins and adding lines to this bit in purple: imgur.com/QnIruge

Like how it looks now?
Also which colour scheme should I use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, looks good. I think the location of the side laser turrets are a bit off from what it looks on the side view, maybe edit it to look kind of like this? imgur.com/lyOeOCL
As for color, try these: imgur.com/ygSvgqu

Don't mind the AA turrets I will align them as I draw the front section, though at first glance that part is almost vertical, maybe max 15° tilt from the vertical.
What I've noticed as I've used it as a basis, the original Gearing class destroyer if the dimensions are correct:
worldofjaymz.wikia.com/wiki/SD…
Then she was equipped with 2x2 20cm, 4x2 12,7cm, 4x2 76mm guns and usual hull mounted torpedo "turrets" based on the turret and gun sizes I've observed on other vessels. Maybe a larger calibre bow shock cannon as well.
