Description

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

Commissioned late in 1944 and taking part in the raids on the Japanese homeland during the final stages of WWII, the USS Bon Homme Richard was later recommissioned in 1951 and deployed to support actions during the conflict on the Korean peninsula. After being upgraded several times to keep up with the advances of new high-performance jet aircraft and serving in her third conflict, the Vietnam War, she was finally decommissioned in 1971, struck from the registry in 1989, and scrapped in 1992.

Dragon's kit of the Korean War-era Bon Homme Richard is sharply molded in crisp gray styrene, and features two nice frets of photo-etched metal detail parts. Bridge parts and the air wing are molded in clear styrene to better replicate windows and canopies. Can be built full-hull or waterline, and includes a stand with nameplate to be used when building it full-hull. Korean War-era air wing includes Sikorsky HO3S-1 helicopters, Corsairs, Skyraiders, Cougars, Panthers, and Banshees, most featuring positionable folding wings and separate landing gear parts. A comprehensive sheet of decals and six moto-tug towing tractors round out the detail.
