Revell 1/490 USS Yorktown CV-5 Aircraft Carrier, H383 plastic model kit

1/490 H383 Revell USS Yorktown CV-5 Aircraft Carrier

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

1969 issue. 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, the first sea battle in which opposing forces did not sight each other from warships. At Midway she fought alongside Enterprise and Hornet to help sink 4 Japanese carriers, but was lost after the battle after an epic struggle to save the ship. Very nicely molded model. Features internal hangar decks (fore and aft) that are visible through side hangar doors, 20 Douglas SBD Dauntless airwing (well molded with raised panel lines and propellers), full decals, 20" long full hull, movable cranes, separately molded AA guns and catwalks and optional position elevators. The box art shows the prewar high-vis finish, and decals are included for prewar markings for the ship and aircraft. For that time, this kit does a good job of representing the detailed differences between the Yorktown and Hornet & Enterprise. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
