1:700 USS Yorktown CV-5, aircraft carrier model kit

This 1:700 Water Line Series assembly kit recreates USS Yorktown CV-5 as a waterline aircraft carrier model with a finished length of 350 mm, bringing the proportions of the historic warship into a compact display scale. The long flight deck, island superstructure and side hull openings give the build a clear naval silhouette that stands out in a fleet lineup or as a single WWII centerpiece. Yorktown was completed in September 1937 as the first ship of her class and served as the flagship of Task Force 17 under Rear Admiral Frank J. Fletcher when the Pacific War began. The subject connects the build to major Pacific actions, including the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942 and the Battle of Midway, where Yorktown fought alongside USS Enterprise and USS Hornet. The Water Line format focuses the presentation on the visible ship above the waterline, which suits harbor scenes, formation displays and shelf presentation. The kit is supplied as an assembly kit, and paints are required separately. On the workbench, the 350 mm format leaves space to handle deck painting, aircraft placement and marking work with care. Once completed, the carrier suits naval collections, WWII lineups and diorama scenes that call for a historically significant U.S. Navy flagship with a strong deck profile and recognisable wartime presence.
