About product

1:350 USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78 – a Trumpeter kit

An injection-molded plastic kit of the most modern American aircraft carrier in 1:350 scale from Trumpeter. It is a large glued model to be assembled and painted, and its dimensions put it among the biggest things that can be built in this scale. The model is meant for more experienced builders.

The real subject

The USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78 is the lead ship of a new class of American nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that are replacing the older Nimitz class. She entered service in 2017. She differs from her predecessors in a number of fundamental features: aircraft are launched by an electromagnetic catapult instead of a steam one, a new system takes care of arresting them on landing, and the island is smaller and moved further aft, which freed up more room for handling aircraft on deck. The aim of these changes was to increase the number of launches per day and to reduce the size of the crew.

Building and painting tips

On a model of this size, first make sure that the flight deck sits without strain, and glue it on a flat surface. Paint the deck separately from the hull and apply the markings onto a smooth base, otherwise the edges of the decals will show. Bring the dark surface of the deck to life with a fine lightening and by suggesting traces of operations around the catapults and the elevators. Add dark running into the engraved lines on the gray surfaces of the hull. Leave the antennas and the radars for the end and think out in advance where the finished model will stand.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern US Navy aircraft carriers
  • Anyone interested in present-day naval hardware
  • Experienced builders of large ship models
  • Modelers who build ships in a single scale of 1:350

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

FAQ

Above all in the electromagnetic catapult instead of a steam one, a new system for arresting aircraft and a smaller island moved further aft.

Rather not. It is a very large model with a long flight deck, and building it calls for practice, patience and plenty of room on the workbench.

The number of parts differs between individual releases. Follow the data on the box and the enclosed instructions.
