Assembly and painting are required. Item is brand new and in its original factory packaging. Commissioned in October 1941, she spent the next four months in the Atlantic preparing for battle. Transferred to the Pacific in March 1942, the Hornet was immediately deployed for the Doolittle raid. On 18 April 1942 she launched 16 U. Army B-25 bombers to attack Japan, a strike that caused relatively little damage but which had enormous strategic implications. The Hornet was then sent to the South Pacific to reinforce U. Units following the Battle of Coral Sea, but was recalled to Pearl Harbor in mid-May. She then took part in the Battle of Midway, on 4-6 June 1942 during which her aircraft assisted in the sinking of the Japanese cruiser Mikuma. During much of September and October, she was the only operational U. Aircraft carrier available to oppose the Japanese in that area. On 26 October 1942, during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, her planes attacked and badly damaged the Japanese carrier Shokaku. In return, however, the Hornet received heavy bomb and torpedo damage, necessitating her abandonment. This finely detailed plastic model kit requires assembly and painting.

Merit International, 1/200 scale, Detailed plastic display model kit, U. Hornet CV-8 Aircraft Carrier, Yorktown-class. This kit is actually made by Trumpeter but marketed under the Merit name. USS Hornet (CV-8) was an American aircraft carrier, the keel of which was laid in 1939, launched in December 1940, and commissioned by the US Navy in October 1941. The maximum speed of the USS Hornet aircraft carrier oscillated around 32-33 knots, and its main armament was 72 on-board planes. USS Hornet was the third (not counting the USS Wasp) Yorktown-class aircraft carrier. First of all, it was decided to build relatively large aircraft carriers, with the greatest emphasis on the number of planes taken and the maximum speed, at the expense of armor. So they were going in the same direction as the Japanese designers, and in the opposite direction to the British Royal Navy. It is worth adding that the construction of the USS Hornet aircraft carrier was no longer limited by the restrictions of the Washington Treaty of 1922. The first serious and probably the most famous operation in which this aircraft carrier took part was participation in the so-called Doolittle’s raid on Tokyo in April 1942, when 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers took off from its deck. Shortly thereafter – in June 1942 – the USS Hornet played a major role in the Battle of Midway. Later in 1942, the carrier took an intensive part in naval operations in the Guadalcanal area, for example, taking part in the Battle of the Solomon Islands (August 1942). In October 1942, the USS Hornet took part in the Battle of Santa Cruz Island where it was sunk. This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. Glue, model paints, and other basic modeling tools are additionally required. Model features- 1,290+ parts; highly detailed model; one-piece hull; 8 large deck and structural pieces and 28 major sprues; flight deck is clear so you can see the very detailed hanger deck below; 10 sheets of photo-etch contain railings, stairs, radar, and other details; optional built with early or later type radar; 8 x turn metal barrels for 5 inch guns; metal anchor chains; includes a full assortment of aircraft and display stand with nameplate. Included aircraft in 1/200 scale- 16 B-25B Doolittle Raid, 5 F4F-4 Wildcat Fighters, 5 SBD-3 Dauntless Dive Bombers, and 8 TBD-1 Devastator Torpedo Bombers.

Assembly and painting are required. Item is brand new and in its original factory packaging. Commissioned in October 1941, she spent the next four months in the Atlantic preparing for battle. Transferred to the Pacific in March 1942, the Hornet was immediately deployed for the Doolittle raid. On 18 April 1942 she launched 16 U. Army B-25 bombers to attack Japan, a strike that caused relatively little damage but which had enormous strategic implications. The Hornet was then sent to the South Pacific to reinforce U. Units following the Battle of Coral Sea, but was recalled to Pearl Harbor in mid-May. She then took part in the Battle of Midway, on 4-6 June 1942 during which her aircraft assisted in the sinking of the Japanese cruiser Mikuma. During much of September and October, she was the only operational U. Aircraft carrier available to oppose the Japanese in that area. On 26 October 1942, during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, her planes attacked and badly damaged the Japanese carrier Shokaku. In return, however, the Hornet received heavy bomb and torpedo damage, necessitating her abandonment. This finely detailed plastic model kit requires assembly and painting.
