Features
This is a plastic model assembly kit of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier CV-3 Saratoga. It depicts her as she appeared in the Battle of Iwo Jima in February 1945.
- Length: 396mm, width: 55mm.
- The slim-line form originally intended as a battle cruiser is recreated in left and right side hull pieces.
- The flight deck is molded in a single piece, including details such as arresting wires, and the central guide rails used for moving seaplanes.
- The starboard side bulge gave the Saratoga an asymmetrical form which is faithfully captured by the model.
- Large starboard funnel and bridge to its fore are also realistically replicated.
- The model is packed with details, including recreations of the Mk.37 gun director, SK radar antenna and funnel-front SM radar, plus 40mm quadruple and 5-inch gun positions, and even lifeboats!
- Waterline plate is attached as an integrated part of the hull.
- Decals are provided to recreate lines and deck-top markings for a highly effective finish.
- Parts to recreate 4 each of Avenger fighter and Hellcat bomber aircraft with radar pods are also included.
