Announced for an end of July release, a waterline kit version of this ship with a complement of TBD torpedo bombers, SBD dive bombers and F4 fighters.
Yorktown was designed and built on lessons learned from the previously built converted carriers Saratoga and Ranger. She and her sisters Enterprise and Hornet were the epitome of US pre-war carrier designs.She fought in the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway, where she met her fate after repeated arial attacks and a torpedo strike by the IJN submarine I-168.
This kit represents Yorktown at the time of the Battle of Midway. The hangar door shutters can be built open or closed and the rear elevator can be built in raised or lowered positions. In this scale, she measures 350mm (13 + inches) in length.
