Academy 1/700 USS Yorktown CV-5: Scale Tribute to Midway

The Academy 1/700 USS Yorktown CV-5 kit recreates a famous World War II carrier in a detailed small scale. Issued for the 80th anniversary of Midway, the model offers accurate deck arrangement and recognisable structural features for historical displays.

Historical Importance and Collectability

The Yorktown CV-5 was instrumental in the Pacific struggles, notably at Midway in 1942. This kit provides collectors with a compact but accurate representation suitable for museum style shelves or period dioramas.

Modelling Process and Detail Level

With crisply moulded parts, the kit offers a satisfying build that sharpens modelling skills. Glue assembly and careful painting are needed to bring out finer details such as the island superstructure and flight deck markings.
