Nice job with the tie-downs. However, the deck-edge elevator and the surrounding deck extensions do not have that arrangement. The tie downs are on the strips going athwartships and the planking is also athwartships for the elevator itself.

Great picture you posted, I haven't seen that one. Note the elevators are marked with crosses, probably in white/Ocean Gray (1px).
The No.1 and No.7 arrestor wire deck marks do not completely cross the deck. they are marked on the plans but it is not easy to see them.

I would make the arrestor wires dark blue instead of grey, but it's up to you. I recommend following Colo's Enterprise of 1945 for guidance on flight deck fittings.

In this image, you can see the centerline dash marking is clearly in line with the centerline of the ship.
Thanks again guys for your comments !
Corrected the details you shown me. How is it now ? 8-)
EDIT: I forgot the first arrestor wire line, it is corrected now.

Modded a ''Blue version'' MS21 as I did in the beginning.

Looking good! I have to say, I prefer the MS 21 Navy Blue!

1. In the plans, the elevator line color is actually labeled as blue (I missed that one). Also, the deck-edge elevator should have a cross marking.

2. For the yellow arrestor wire markings, it would be better to change the wire color from dark blue to a darker yellow as it crosses the marking so the line stands out nicely.

3. On the profile drawing some of your lines are in black (indicating a 90 degree angle) when they should be a darker shade... especially the bow knuckle but also the sponsons. One thing that stands out is the bomb elevators. The supports should be in black outline.

Marvellous work.

Thanks again for your kind comments !

I just don’t know what you mean by the supports of the bomb elevators ?

On the flight deck you can see four bomb elevators on the deck edge either side of the island. The shafts have quite thick girders externally.

It's difficult to get good photos of these areas. Here's a good one from Aug 08, 1955 at Puget Sound.

Yes they are already depicted but I choose to show the struts in a greyish tonne over the cover of the elevator.
