I'm amazed you managed to obtain 2 BP for both Chikuma and ABKM within your first two months. I strongly suggest going Hard early on to maximize your gain since you won't be able to go Hard at the last few maps.

Equipment-wise, I suggest crafting more planes for your dailies. Ideally, you'll want enough planes for your carrier combined fleet + support expedition (aerial) + Land-based. As for improvements, I think 35.6cm and AAFD is a waste of screws. You'll probably be able to farm one of the Akizuki-class in the next event so the upgraded AAFD is pretty much dead on arrival. Since you've Maya K2, you're pretty much all set for AACI as well. Maybe get +1 on a few 35.6cm to get the +3 FP, but try not to over-invest in them since they'll be replaced by the Italian + German + Proto 35.6 guns anyway.

Beyond that, I think AP shell, 20.3cm (no.2/3) and Model 21 fighter is ok for improvement. The improvement on the fighter will carry on when you upgrade it to 21 (skilled) and 52 (skilled) via quest, so it's better to start preparing early.

That's all, good luck!
