It is an interesting issue. Before lurker's changes I had no idea how seemingly so few Japanese DDs had DC roll racks.
This page doesn't show any DC roll racks on this Akizuki class model:

This Fubuki class DD apparently has DC roll racks, but it's hard to tell:

Kagero without DC roll racks:

Steelnavy.com, BTW, is a great site. Check it out to see what types of models guys have built there.
