Italeri 0503 1/720 USS Nimitz Detailed Aircraft Carrier Model  [IT-0503S]

Italeri 1/720 USS Nimitz - Authentic Naval Miniature

The USS Nimitz entered service in 1972 and stands out as a landmark in modern naval construction. As the second nuclear powered carrier in the US fleet, it displaces roughly 94,400 tons and is widely regarded as a massive seagoing platform. The Italeri 1/720 kit aims to represent that scale and presence in miniature form.

Why Collectors Value This Kit

The full size carrier carries thousands of personnel and close to a hundred aircraft, giving it a complex profile. The model reflects those operational details, including radar guided Sea Sparrow points and realistic catapult outlines, which appeal to display builders and naval history fans.

Tips for Building the Model

Assembling the Italeri USS Nimitz is a rewarding modelling task; parts are finely moulded and need careful trimming and fitting. Plan painting in stages and prepare for precise assembly around flight deck fittings to achieve a professional finish.
