The kit has never been started. The parts are still factory sealed and includes decals and instructions. The Tico served with distinction in WWII. When that conflict ended, she was placed in the reserve fleet. To counter new threats, she was later modified into an angle-deck Essex like many of her sisters and recommissioned in 1954. This configuration is modeled upon the ship in late 1950s.
