Academy 14224 1/700 USS Enterprise CV-6 Special Edition - Compact Replica

The legendary USS Enterprise CV-6 is represented in this 1/700 scale release from Academy, offering a compact but faithful reproduction of the carrier that served across key Pacific battles. This special edition highlights the ship's distinctive profile for collectors and scale enthusiasts.

Why Modellers Value This Release

As a Yorktown-class carrier, Enterprise participated in defining actions such as Midway and the Doolittle Raid. The kit gives builders a chance to study the ship's layout and to recreate its wartime appearance, making it a satisfying project for those who enjoy historical modelling.

Parts, Finish and Display Options

The moulding captures deck fittings and aircraft in miniature, with parts that need precise trimming and glueing. Finished models make an effective shelf display and can be weathered or varnished to suit a period diorama.

What level of detail should I expect at 1/700?

Expect fine, compact detail suited to 1/700 scale: superstructure lines, small deck features and aircraft silhouettes are included, though some parts are tiny and require steady hands.

Are paints included with the kit?

No, paints and adhesives are not supplied. Use model acrylics or enamels and appropriate plastic cement to achieve the best finish.

Can I add extra detail like rigging or crew figures?

Yes, advanced builders often add rigging, photoetched parts, or tiny figures to enhance realism, but these upgrades require additional tools and experience.
