About product

USS Midway CV-41 in 1:350 scale from Trumpeter

The plastic kit of the aircraft carrier USS Midway belongs among the truly large projects. The real ship measured over 290 meters, so even after the reduction into 1:350 scale the model stays sizeable, and before the build it pays to think out where you will put it. Trumpeter is a maker known precisely for large ship kits. The build is demanding by its extent rather than by the individual steps, so it rewards patience.

The real subject

The USS Midway was the first unit of the class of the same name, the largest aircraft carriers the United States laid down during the Second World War. She entered service in September 1945, that is only after the fighting had ended, and she became the first American ship with an armored flight deck. Over almost half a century of service she went through several fundamental rebuilds, which gave her an angled deck and steam catapults and kept her in step with jet aircraft. She was deployed in Vietnam and in Operation Desert Storm in 1991, and since 2004 she has served in San Diego as a museum ship.

Building and painting tips

Decide first whether you want the full hull or whether to cut the underwater part away and build the model as a waterline version; that simplifies the build. Spray the extensive areas of the deck with an airbrush and divide the shades according to the individual sections, or they look dead. Railings, nets and cranes from photo-etched accessories will do more for credibility than anything else. Support the hull along its whole length while it dries, so that it does not bend.

Who the model is for

  • Experienced ship modelers looking for a large, long-term project
  • Collectors of American naval hardware of the Cold War
  • Builders who like to add photo-etched parts to their models
  • Anyone interested in the development of aircraft carriers from piston-engined aircraft to jets

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

FAQ

The real ship measured over 290 meters, so even in 1:350 scale this is a very sizeable model. Before the build, think out the space in a display case and a firm stand.

Rather not. The individual steps are not complicated, but the extent of the build and the number of small parts on the deck call for patience and experience with large ship models.

Yes, and it definitely pays off. Railings, nets and cranes from photo-etch raise the credibility more than anything else. Sets aimed at this ship in 1:350 scale are made as well.

It depends on the particular arrangement of the parts in the package. A number of builders cut the underwater part away and display the model on the surface, because it simplifies both the build and the placement in a display case.
