Academy 14409 1/700 USS Enterprise CV-6 - Midway Carrier Kit  [AC-14409]

Academy 14409 1/700 USS Enterprise CV-6 Build Overview

The USS Enterprise CV-6, often called the "Big E", was a central force at the Battle of Midway. This Academy 1/700 scale model kit recreates that storied aircraft carrier, giving hobbyists the parts needed to build an accurate small-scale representation of the ship.

Historical context and modeller interest

As one of the most decorated vessels of the Second World War, the USS Enterprise CV-6 carries strong historical weight. The kit highlights that history through detailed moulding and period-accurate profiles, appealing to those who combine historical interest with scale modelling skill.

Assembly tips and display potential

The 1/700 scale keeps the finished model compact while still offering fine detail. Parts are crisply moulded and will reward careful assembly; this kit suits modellers with some prior experience. When painted and finished the carrier makes a convincing display piece alongside other 1/700 warships.
