The Akagi was a converted battlecruiser with a longer thinner hull, while the Kaga was a converted battleship that is shorter but wider. Ironicly the Akagi was between 0.5-1 meter wider than the Kaga. The Akagi was three and a half knots faster than the Kaga, owing to the battlecruiser speed nature of her hull. The Akagi carried more planes but the Kaga was 2000 tons heavier. Arnaments were a little different. Since the ships they were converted from, the Tosa class battleship and the Amagi class battlecruisers were almost identical, except for size and that the Amagi had an extra funnel, the Akagi and Kaga looked almost identical as well, making them half sisters. If you will let me take a crack at them I can make the Kaga as she was in real life, instead of identical in every way to the Akagi, as she was not. I might even make better textures for both ships.
