Hi all,
i just about to begin working on this figure set for my future deck diorama...
i have a few question...since i dont have any ideas what are the role and title of each figure, i dont know where exactly to put them all... i mean who is going to be the catapult officer, who's going to take care of the aircraft..
anyone know any reference that i can refer to...
and in the set there is a women crew...is that practice in USN to have a women deck crew??
thanks
