Looking for the right colour of the carrier deck. A unresolved question is the number of the wooden planks between the tie-down-profiles (correct expression?). I'd compared photos and models, there are 7 or 8, also 10 or 11 planks. Who can help? Please.
It shall be the USS Princeton, a carrier of the Independence class. May be the number of planks is different of the reason of the carrier-class. Or my eyes are weak ... 🙂
