This 1:700 scale model represents the legendary USS Yorktown (CV-5) as she appeared during the Battle of Midway (June 1942), one of the most decisive naval engagements of World War II.
A Yorktown-class aircraft carrier launched in 1936, the Yorktown played a crucial role in the Pacific War, demonstrating exceptional durability and combat efficiency. During the Midway battle, she launched multiple strikes against the Japanese fleet before being sunk by the submarine I-168.
The Academy kit features superb detail, including an optional full or waterline hull, realistic flight deck, miniature aircraft (Dauntless, Devastator, Wildcat), photo-etched radar masts, and fine anti-aircraft armament.
High-quality decals replicate the ship’s 1942 markings and wooden deck textures.
A compact yet historically rich kit — perfect for naval history and aircraft carrier enthusiasts.
