This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.
A great kit for beginners who want a bit of a challenge! This detailed scale kit of the U.S.S. Lexington (CV-2) comes molded in various colors, so painting isn't necessary to achieve a nice, finished look upon completion. No glue is necessary for this snapfit kit, and stickers are provided for the aircraft markings. Speaking of the aircraft they come molded as one piece each with the props already molded in place. This kit comes with six SBD Dauntless, six TBD Devastators and six F4F Wildcats. This kit can also be built as either a waterline model or as a full-hull ship kit with a black plastic display stand included and measures 387mm long and 56mm wide when completed.
From the manufacturer:
The second kit of the PS series is the 1/700 U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Lexington (CV-2). The large fleet aircraft carrier Lexington was converted from a battleship under construction after the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1920s. Lexington was commissioned in 1927. Lexington was used to develop and refine carrier-based aircraft combat tactics in a series of fleet exercises before World War II. She’s a pioneer of the U.S. Navy air combat. At the most dangerous time during the Pacific War, Lexington successfully stopped the raging IJN Combined Fleet.
MENG’s Lexington aircraft carrier kit is designed based on the original drawings and a lot of authoritative reference materials. This delicately designed kit accurately replicates the Lexington aircraft carrier during the war in March 1942.
-Lexington’s wooden flight deck, arresting cables and barricade are finely replicated.
-The 4 unique 8-inch gun turrets can rotate freely.
-The detailed subassemblies, including the superstructure in the tripod mast, are easy to assemble.
-All the locating stubs have been specially designed for the fast and smooth assembly of this kit.
