About product

The deck of an escort aircraft carrier in 1:48 scale

Not every carrier aircraft took off from a huge attack ship. A large proportion of them operated during the Second World War from small escort carriers, and it is precisely this less usual world that this base offers. It comes printed and ready, so you simply stand a model on it.

The ship whose name the motif carries

The escort aircraft carrier with the designation CVE-73 belonged to a numerous class of ships built during the war in large batches, meant to escort convoys and support landings. It was lost on October 25, 1944 in the fighting off the island of Samar in the Philippines, where a handful of lightly armed American ships stood up to a markedly stronger Japanese force. It is one of the few American aircraft carriers sunk by the gunfire of surface vessels.

What you can do with the surface

Escort carriers carried mainly single-engine fighters and torpedo aircraft, so the scene suits models of machines from the war in the Pacific best. It is a good idea to angle the model so that the direction of the deck stands out, because that is exactly what gives the scene movement. An arrangement in which the aircraft is placed off the axis and looks as though it has just touched down also works well.

Who it suits

  • models of carrier aircraft from the war in the Pacific
  • collections focused on US naval aviation
  • scenes where the ship is meant to be smaller and more cramped
  • competition displays with a historical subject

Neither the aircraft nor any deck equipment is included in this offer.
