I am interested in building a 1/72 scale US Navy carrier deck similar to the photo below which is a 1/72 scale Imperial Japanese carrier deck (available on Ebay). However, I cannot find anything like this on Ebay or doing any other kind of search for US carriers. I suppose the island will have to be scratch made with sheet styrene. Where would I find dimensions, etc, to make this an accurate build? I know Ebay sells those square carrier decks which fit, maybe, one aircraft? I’d like to make this such that I can put around 4 - 5 1/72 scale Navy AC on it.

Library of congress may have blueprints, If not you could buy a model of the CV in question perhaps even a trashed built one on ebay, and use it’s bridge to get approximate dimensions and placement of details then fill in those details from photos.
