Description
Recreate the lead ship of the most numerous class of heavy warships from the 20th century with this detailed 1:700 scale model of the USS Essex (CV-9). This kit captures the profile of the legendary carrier as she appeared during her service in the Pacific Theater of World War II. As a waterline model, it is designed to sit flat on a display surface, perfectly simulating the vessel as it would appear afloat.
The kit features a one piece hull construction and a finely textured flight deck with raised planking details. Builders will find a high level of detail across the island structure, including the bridge and radar towers, as well as the various anti-aircraft gun emplacements that bristled along the ship's galleries. To bring the flight deck to life, the set includes two sprues of period-accurate aircraft to populate your display.
