Scale replica from Aoshima - HMS Ark Royal 1941 in 1/700

The Ark Royal played a decisive role in early WWII naval actions. Launched into service in November 1938, her layout featured an innovative two-stage flight deck that reflected contemporary carrier design thinking.

During May 1941 the carrier contributed to operations against the German battleship Bismarck, with aircraft from Ark Royal helping to tip the balance. Aoshima's 1/700 offering recreates this famous vessel for display and study by modellers.
