USS Hornet CV-8 1/200

The 1/200 USS Hornet (CV-8) is one of the most impressive aircraft carrier kits ever produced. The most important buying criteria are accuracy, hangar deck detail, aircraft complement, photo-etch content, and display size. At over 48 inches (1239 mm) long, this is a centerpiece model rather than a typical ship kit. The kit was originally produced by Merit International and manufactured by Trumpeter. It includes a detailed hangar deck, clear flight deck sections, aircraft for both the Doolittle Raid and Midway configurations, metal barrels, and photo-etch.
