I think I had a similar experience when I started the to play Kancolle. I was playing for 3 weeks and suddenly the spring event started. I think you wont be able to finish the event because you are probably missing key equipment like Type 3 Shells to kill Installation type bosses and Reppuu planes to win air battles. Back then I didnt know, there were rare ship drops on event maps, so I didnt really bother farming them, instead, I wasted all my resources on leveling my ships in 3-2, so I could try to beat E4 with a Surface Task Force, since my Carrier Task Force always lost air battles. My ships were around lvl50 at best but without Type3 Shells I just couldnt hurt the boss. You can go ahead and try to craft some Fighters and Type3 shells but you will need some luck to get enough before the event starts.

Instead of wasting my time and resources this way I should've farmed E1, E2 and E3 for some rare ships.

What I'm trying to say is, dont aim to finish the event, but try to get as many fancy ships as possible. There will be another chance to get that special snowflake which might be rewarded for maps you cant beat yet, so no worries. It might take a year or longer though.

Dont waste resouces on ship construction. I got all the Kongous, Fusous and whatever during my first event. They are like casual drops in the most boss nodes.
