Description

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

The Saratoga was originally laid down as a battlecruiser in September 1920. However, due to the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922, which imposed restrictions on the number of capital ships a nation could possess, it was converted into an aircraft carrier. The second ship of the Lexington-class aircraft carriers, she was commissioned in November 1927.

Upon her commissioning, the Lexington-class carriers became the world's largest aircraft carriers at the time. With a long hull based on the design of battlecruisers, they boasted high-speed capabilities and a powerful air group of 90 aircraft, including open-deck arresting gear.

Features of this 1/700 scale plastic model include:
