A compact, accurate 1/700 rendition of the USS Essex for hobby modellers

The Hasegawa 49707 kit reproduces the USS Essex in 1/700 scale with the Water Line Series emphasis on detail and fit. The injection-moulded parts give clean edges that help when assembling the carrier's superstructure and deck features.

This kit is designed to reward patient builders who enjoy research and careful construction. The Essex played a significant role in Pacific operations and this model offers an authentic small-scale representation suitable for shelf or cabinet display once painted and detailed.

  • Model scale - 1/700
  • Material used - Plastic
  • Requires assembly - Yes
  • Paints/decals - Not included

Is this suitable for a beginner learning ship models?

Beginners can try it, but expect a learning curve. Small parts and precise joins make it better for modellers who have completed at least one or two smaller kits first.

Can I add aftermarket details like photo-etch?

Yes, the kit accepts photo-etch and fine detail sets that enhance railings, radars and other small fittings. Check compatibility with 1/700 accessories before purchasing.

How should I store the kit before assembly?

Keep sprues flat in a dry, dust-free place and avoid direct sunlight. Store decals and instruction sheets in a sleeve to prevent bending or fading.
