Tamiya 31711 - 1/700 Scale WWII USS Bogue Escort Carrier Model Kit for Modellers  [31711]

Tamiya 1/700 USS Bogue - A Small-Scale WWII Escort Carrier Model

The Tamiya 31711 recreates the USS Bogue at 1/700 scale, giving a compact yet accurate representation of the escort carrier that operated against U-Boat threats. The kit focuses on correct deck proportions and the carrier role in convoy defence.

Operational Significance and Realism

During WWII, escort carriers provided vital air cover for convoys, deterring and hunting submarines. The USS Bogue is a good example of how naval strategy adapted to the Atlantic threat with versatile, converted vessel types.

Suitability for Collectors and Builders

This Tamiya plastic kit is aimed at modellers who value accuracy in a small footprint. Careful assembly, neat painting and attention to tiny aircraft details make this a rewarding project for display cabinets.
