This 1/800 scale kit from Academy offers a faithful miniature of the USS Nimitz, capturing the carrier's major contours and flight deck arrangement. The model is sized for collectors who prefer detailed subjects that do not require large display space.
Construction of the Academy 14213 benefits from dry fitting and gradual painting stages to preserve detail. The kit's parts present crisp definition, and careful finishing will highlight structural features like the island and deck fittings.
As the lead ship commissioned in 1975, the USS Nimitz set standards for subsequent carriers and played roles in many deployments. Building this kit provides an accessible way to study that step in carrier evolution at a scale suited to home collections.
