IJN Akagi deck markings
Posted by wjbwjb29 on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 7:02 PM

Hello;

Does anyone know the large national insignia was on the deck. Was it present at the pearl harbor attack or later during the battle of midway?

I believe that the Rising Sun disc was added to the flight deck before the Indian Ocean raids of April 1942. It was not  applied for Pearl Harbor, but was there a Midway, as you can see in this photo of her.

Well, thankfully, there are photos like this to use as reference. Good luck! I look forward to seeing your build.
