Thanks to all, glad that you like it.

Ace, I'm not sure what you mean by that. The wooden 'textures' in the top view have been taken from other shipbucket ships, if that is what you want to know.

could you point at those ships? while the flight deck ones are 'acceptable' by me (I like bombheads more, which look more like they are actually drawn) the lower deck texture looks off, even if only because they run straight while the surfaces do not (they would run along the edge most likely) if wood would be used at all on those spaces.

What are the aircraft and how many of each would it have carried?

Fighter protection and what looks like attack capabilities with the seaplanes...not a bad early carrier combo
