Talk abouit a wild paint scheme You mean no meatball on the deck to use as a diving mark is that the AL foil technique for the water?

Similar schemes were used on other carriers too, The meatball was a short lived addition to Japanese carrier decks....not the Al foil, a plastic rippled/dimpled sheet laid on some blue card....

I did some warships when I was 15, but they were just out of the box, with no painting at all and used to play the Battle of Midway with my brother: of course he was the younger so he had to be the Jap...
Just a little curiosity, those 1/700 scale birds, do they have transparent cockpits?

There are 7 different colours on each aircraft...so much work for something that's small enough to sit on your thumb nail...

No they don't, in this case painted silver, some of the more current aircraft sets in the carrier kits are moulded in the transparent plastic.
