Academy 14210 1/800 CV-63 USS Kittyhawk Description

The USS Kittyhawk is a prominent example of postwar carrier design and the Academy 14210 model condenses that heritage into a 1/800 plastic kit. It is tailored to scale enthusiasts who want a faithful miniature profile of the carrier.

Significance and Modelling Accuracy

Over its service life the Kittyhawk featured distinct deck and island shapes, which this kit aims to reflect. The moulded parts focus on the carrier's most recognisable elements to produce a credible scale likeness.

Assembly Approach and Finished Look

Construction requires standard modelling techniques, with attention to small fittings and alignment for the best outcome. After painting and decalling the completed build displays as a compact but striking naval model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/800
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Recommended for enhanced realism

Will the kit include flight deck markings?

Most kits include basic deck decals; check the box contents for specific marking options and apply them after painting for best adhesion.

Are extra parts needed to display aircraft on the deck?

The standard kit may not include detailed aircraft; small aftermarket or scratchbuilt aircraft can be added if you want an active deck scene.

How should I store the finished model to avoid damage?

Keep the model in a dust-free display case or behind glass, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to preserve paint and plastic over time.
