1/720 Scale U.S.S. Carl Vinson CVN-70 Model for Scale Modellers

The Italeri 5506S provides a faithful 1/720 representation of the U.S.S. Carl Vinson CVN-70, a Nimitz-class carrier launched in 1982 and notable for both operational service and humanitarian deployments. This issue portrays the vessel in its 1999 configuration, allowing modellers to capture a specific historical snapshot.

Parts are moulded to represent key structural elements, giving a satisfying assembly experience for those who enjoy naval subjects. Once finished, the model presents a clean, scaled display piece suitable for shelves or club dioramas.

Can I upgrade the kit with photo-etch parts?

Many modellers add aftermarket photo-etch or resin details to sharpen railings and radomes. Check the part dimensions and instructions from suppliers to ensure a good fit.

What scale is suitable for display alongside this model?

This is 1/720 scale, so pair it with other 1/700 to 1/720 subjects for a consistent visual grouping, keeping in mind slight scale differences when mixing kits.

How are the decals applied for best results?

Apply decals over a smooth, gloss surface and use decal setting solution to conform them to vents or slight curves. Seal them with a clear varnish to protect the markings.

Will the kit require major trimming or sanding?

Some cleanup of mould lines and sprue connection points is normal. Light sanding and careful fitting will improve joins before painting.
