[About the actual ship]
The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier commissioned in 1943 after the Pacific War started is Independence (CVL-22).
The design of the hull of the light cruiser Amsterdam was changed quickly and it was completed as an aircraft carrier.
The first ship of the Independence class, which was to be constructed as a total of 9 ships.
Since the hull was originally designed and constructed as a Cleveland class light cruiser, it had a speed of 31 knots and was able to act together with the main class large aircraft carrier.
The displacement was 11000 tons. It was equipped with about 30 carrier-based aircraft carriers. From the attack on Minamitorishima to the attack on the Japanese mainland, it played an active role until the end of the war.
Model
The overall length of the finished product is 542 mm. The hull based on the light cruiser is integrally molded using a slide mold, and the shape as well as the details of the hull side are well modeled.
The full hull model reproduced to the bottom of the ship, or the offshore model reproduced only above the draft line.
The flight deck also uses a slide mold to reproduce the details of the flight deck, as well as the details of the hatch, and hoses on the side of the deck.
In addition, the details of the bridge, mast, radar, and anti-aircraft guns and cranes arranged on each part are reproduced in one piece.
In addition, the inside of the hangar is reproduced.
In addition, the inside of the hangar is also reproduced. The details of the walls increase the realism.
In addition, the TBF, F-6F, and SBD carrier-based aircraft are also reproduced. By equipping the deck and hangar, a realistic finish can be expected.
Other than that, the 4 × 4 truck, tow tractor, deck crew and pilot figures are also set.
I am looking forward to the creation of a large model.
