Hasegawa 1:700 U.S. Aircraft Carrier 'Essex' Plastic Mosel Kit

The lead ship of the most important US warship class of WWII, USS Essex, had quite a long career. Commissioned on the last day of 1942, Essex and her sister ships would go on to crush Japan in the most powerful display of sea power in history. Essex was damaged by a Kamikaze attack on November 25, 1944, served to the end of the war and was decommissioned on January 9, 1947. She was pulled out of retirement and modernised from 1948-1951 and soldiered on until finally being scrapped in 1975.
