In 1:700 scale this is a model with a great many fine parts.

The real subject

USS Franklin was a fleet aircraft carrier of the Essex class, the backbone of the American Pacific fleet in the second half of the war. In March 1945 she was hit hard by bombs off the Japanese islands and the ensuing fires and explosions cost hundreds of lives; even so the ship was saved and steamed away. Trumpeter depicts the ship in her 1944 configuration.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts from the sprues and glue them with a thin cement for plastic; the small parts in 1:700 call for care and are well complemented by fine photo-etched railings (available separately). Decide in advance between the full hull and the waterline. Before painting apply a primer and lay the coats on with an airbrush; render the deck in the matching scheme and accent the lines with a wash.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American aircraft carriers of the Second World War
  • Anyone interested in the Essex class and the war in the Pacific
  • Modelers with experience of building ships in 1:700
  • Builders who appreciate the choice of a full hull or a waterline

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