I've recently started acquiring Allied and Japanese naval fleets for 1942 naval battles. A friend, Rocky, has devised a set of naval rules that resolve battles in around 3 hours with simple methods of calculating firepower at range, chance to hit, and damage effects of hits and with all the various weapon effects from plunging fire, torpedoes and aircraft.
We have been using 1:2400 scale ships along with 1:900 scale aircraft. Mostly from XP Forge, a 3D Print company.
Here are pics of recently formed Allied fleet and IJN fleet.
The Allied fleet includes British, Dutch, Australian, and United States ships along with Buffalo fighters and British carrier based aircraft.
I'll log the detailed order of battle as a separate page off the blog.
