1927 USS Lexington Aircraft Carrier 1:700 Scale - Construction Set

Before aircraft carriers ruled the oceans, there was the USS Lexington.

Nicknamed "Lady Lex," she represented a new chapter in naval history, proving that air power would become just as important as battleships. Now, you can recreate one of the world's first great fleet carriers in stunning detail.

Measuring 39cm long in 1:700 scale and assembled from over 100 precision pieces, this snap-on model faithfully captures the Lexington's distinctive design with an epic level of detail and accuracy.

As you build it, you'll recreate the impressive full-length flight deck, detailed hangar deck, iconic island superstructure, four twin-barrel main gun turrets, multiple anti-aircraft guns, observation and command towers, deck edge platforms, detailed hull and main deck, realistic propellers and modular construction, resulting in a display piece worthy of one of history's most influential warships.

Commissioned by the United States in 1927, the USS Lexington (CV-2) began life as a battlecruiser before being converted into one of America's first fleet aircraft carriers under the Washington Naval Treaty.

During the early years of World War II, she played a vital role in the Pacific before being lost at the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first naval battle in history where opposing fleets fought without their ships ever seeing one another.

Build the carrier that helped change naval warfare forever and add one of history's true maritime pioneers to your collection.
