If you're looking for period references and kit suggestions to augment your naval aviation diorama with a flight deck tractor, I stumbled across a very helpful and informative web entry,
http://www.carrierbuilders.net/element/ ... php?id=998. I haven't checked out each particular kit for its availability, but the major manufacturers are mentioned, so there's more than a good chance they can be found. It was also rather interesting to note that the Willys jeep, more familiarly associated with land-based usage, was used on carriers pretty much throughout WWII, according to the article.
