This includes the decks of fleet, light, escort and training carriers.Each carrier deck is made from 3 mm thick MDF to resist warping and is laser-engraved with aircraft securing rails (aka: tiedown strips) and planking in an angled orientation. The carrier deck is then inserted into the base, sitting flush with it.

Please note that carrier decks are ready-to-finish.
