Here's the Shapeways 1/700 HMS Argus 1918 in progress with WWI dazzle camo scheme. I'll use 1/700 Sopwith Camels; Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutters and Short Type 184 Seaplanes for the aircraft group. Shown with 1/700 Combrig Armoured Cruiser HMS Drake under construction.

Is it an optical illusion or does the flight deck really have an upward curve in it?

Upward...more downwards with my eyes . Look like the model has a bow to it?

Here's the original 1/700 Shapeways Argus model; looks like my photos show an optical illusion. I checked out the model in my workshop and the flight deck is level.

Must be an optical illusion then.  My "upward curve" wasn't very clear.  What I meant to convey was an upward slope from aft to a high point amidships position and then a downward slope to the bow.

Clearly, the dazzle camouflage works....! 😉🤣
