Aircraft on aircraft carriers, cargo on transport ships - various objects find their place on the decks of the ships, together with the crew and passengers. These objects and figures on board lend the ship models vivid details and bring the models to life. This special issue focuses on the charm of deck accessories, which enhance the narrative aspect of ship modelling. The model examples: U.S. aircraft carrier CV-8 "Hornet" (Trumpeter, 1:350); U.S. Navy escort carrier of the "Bogue" class (Tamiya, 1:700); British aircraft carrier "I49 Argus" (AJM Model, 1:700); Japanese aircraft carrier "Chuyo" (Aoshima, 1:700); Japanese ammunition transporter "Kashino" (Pit-Road, 1:700); Japanese seaplane carrier "Akitsushima" (Aoshima, 1:700); Modern Japanese destroyer "Kaga" (Hasegawa, 1:700); Modern Japanese destroyer "Kongo" (Hasegawa, 1:700); Rapid fire gun, 54-calibre, 127 mm, on destroyer of the "Kongo" class (Fujimi, 1:70).
