Revell 1/490 USS Yorktown CV-5 Aircraft Carrier, 5224 plastic model kit

1/490 5224 Revell USS Yorktown CV-5 Aircraft Carrier

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG+

1987 reissue of the original 1967 kit. Features 20 SBDs, fore and aft hanger decks, 20" long full hull, movable cranes, optional position elevators and more. The box art shows the wartime finish, but the kit contains decals for this or the prewar high-vis finish. The kit has never been started. Inside it is still factory bag sealed and includes decals and instructions. The Yorktown was one of three prewar sister carriers along with Enterprise (CV-6) and Hornet (CV-8). The Yorktown saw extensive action in the Coral Sea and underwent temporary repairs in record time so she could take part in the Battle of Midway. Damaged by bombs and eventually a spread of submarine-fired 'Long Lance' torpedoes, she was lost after an epic struggle to save the ship. Revell did a nice job in these models of capturing the unique differences between all three Yorktown-class carriers.
