I am building a 1/32nd scale catapult for an Arado 196. I want to mount the catapult on a base as if it were on the ship. I need to know:

1.) was the deck wood planking or sheet steel covered?
2.) if wood, what color? natural or painted gray?
3.) what were the dimensions of the wood beams?
4.) what pattern, if any, did the beams follow?

Thanks in advance.

No one knows?

Not much deck planking in either position
cheers,
Julian

Thanks, Julian.
