Trying something new guys I have some 48 scale IJN aircraft sitting in a box and i just thought wow i'm going to put them on a flight deck

now i went to my local dollar store and picked up a bunch of the long coffee stir sticks the 8inch ones and i'm going to build the deck from there.

I'm not sure of what way to go across or diag none of the pictures i have of aircraft carriers are very clear and show realy good detail on this any info guys ?

thanks
David

IJN flightdeck planks ran bow to stern, not port to starboard like US carriers. I'm not too sure on their plank lenghts.

David,

Some of the best IJN carrier flight deck photos will be from the Pearl Harbor Raid.
You maybe able to get some info from here:
