Thanks!

This is new? I thought they already released this kit last year? Basically a repop of the Hornet with new sprues for the Yorktown's bridge and deck?

Which in itself could be the reboxed Enterprise kit.

Without seeing the sprue trees myself to compare I can't say for certain but it's a common practice in the kit industry to repackage the basic mold and add in differences like decals or maybe in this case, different aircraft.

I think the Hornet kit has B-25s for the Doolittle raid.

Yes, this is the kit that was released some time ago (I remember seeing it on display at the Nationals in Orlando in 2012). I picked it up online some time ago.

It's a mis-mash repop of the old Enterprise and Hornet kits. Basically it looks like the Yorktown, but it's underscale like the old kits (actually around 1/720th), the island is too thin and has incorrect details, and the AA gun galleries around the flight deck are not correct for any of the three ships at any time during their careers. Very disappointing.
