FAQ

Compact, historically minded 1/700 model of the USS Essex

The Hasegawa 49707 kit recreates the USS Essex in 1/700 scale with the Water Line Series emphasis on proportion and engineering detail. The injection-moulded components allow for neat assembly of the hull profile and superstructure elements.

Intended for hobbyists who enjoy researching subjects and finishing to a high standard, this kit represents a practical way to model a key World War II carrier. When completed, it makes an impressive display item while taking up minimal shelf space.

Will this kit accept extra detailing parts?

Yes, many modellers fit aftermarket photo-etch railings and resignation sets to enhance realism. Check that any add-ons are specified for 1/700 scale for correct fit.

Do decals require special handling?

Handle decals with care; use decal softener for conforming over subtle deck relief and seal with a clear coat once dry to protect the markings.

How to achieve realistic deck finishes?

Fine dry-brushing, subtle washes and matt varnish help reproduce a service-worn deck. Work in layers and test techniques on scrap plastic before applying to the model.
