Academy 14409 1/700 USS Enterprise CV-6 Scale Kit Notes

The USS Enterprise CV-6, commonly known as the "Big E", played a major role at Midway. This Academy 1/700 scale kit recreates the carrier's general arrangement and deckscape, letting hobbyists assemble a faithful small-scale replica.

Model relevance and historical background

Famous for its service record, the USS Enterprise CV-6 remains a key subject for naval modelling. The kit conveys the carrier's profile and key features, offering builders a chance to study and display an important vessel from the era.

Practical build and finishing points

The 1/700 size keeps the model compact without losing important detail. Expect to perform careful trimming, alignment and painting to achieve the best results; with patience the completed model displays well in cabinets or on diorama bases.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
This kit suits intermediate modellers; tiny parts and close-fitting assemblies mean novices may find it challenging without prior experience on smaller-scale ships.
Essential tools include fine cutters, a hobby knife, sanding sticks, tweezers and a small file set. Good lighting and magnification make working with 1/700 parts much easier.
Use a sharp blade for initial removal, then smooth with fine files and sandpaper. A light primer coat helps reveal any imperfections before final painting.
