Tamiya 77510 - 1/700 Scale Hornet WWII Carrier Kit for Scale Model Builders  [77510]

Hornet: A Brief Naval Profile

The U.S. Aircraft Carrier Hornet stands out as the eighth carrier fielded by the U.S. Navy and the third of the Yorktown class built within treaty constraints. She featured enhanced anti-torpedo protection but carried only eight single-barrel 5-inch guns for air defence. With turbines producing roughly 120,000 horsepower, her top speed reached about 34 knots.

Modelling Notes for the Tamiya 77510

The Tamiya 77510 1/700 scale kit reproduces the Hornet's main shapes and deck profile, ideal for modellers who enjoy tidy builds and scale-accurate presentations. The parts lend themselves to weathering and small-detail painting to emphasise the ship's wartime character.
