About product

Aircraft carrier USS Hornet CV-8, 1:350 scale (Trumpeter)

A plastic kit of the American aircraft carrier USS Hornet as she was in 1942, from Trumpeter in 1:350 scale. The model offers a detailed flight deck and hangar deck and a set of carrier aircraft. Thanks to the lower hull and a waterline plate you can build it as a full-hull model on a stand or in a waterline version. Check the exact contents on the box.

The real subject

USS Hornet was an aircraft carrier of the Yorktown class that entered service at the end of 1941. She became famous for launching sixteen B-25 bombers on the Doolittle Raid against Japan in April 1942 and for the fighting at Midway atoll. Later that same year Japanese strikes sank her in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. The kit holds carrier aircraft and markings for both famous operations.

Building and painting tips

Build the large model in sections — the hull, the hangar deck, the flight deck and the island. Use a thin cement for plastic and coats through an airbrush in shades of gray and of the wooden flight deck. Decide beforehand on the full-hull or the waterline version. Paint the aircraft and apply their decals separately; railings will raise the realism. You display the model on the enclosed stand.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of American aircraft carriers.
  • For fans of the war in the Pacific and of the Doolittle Raid.
  • For modelers who want a large model for the display case.
  • For more experienced builders.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
