HI Brian!

USN signal flags in the late 1930's were the same as the wartime pattern that came with the kit originally. If a set is not available, you can look up signal flags on the internet. Since I build in the larger scales, I like to make my flags from aluminum foil and paint the patterns on.

I have a couple of images of US Naval signal flags I can send you. I have resized them to fit the scale I am working with at the time. PM me and I will forward them for you to look at.
