Hasegawa 49707 - 1/700 Scale US Navy Essex Aircraft Carrier Water Line Kit  [HA-49707]

Detailed scale study of the USS Essex for serious model builders

The Hasegawa 49707 kit delivers a precise 1/700 representation of the USS Essex, reflecting the Water Line Series focus on proportional accuracy and realistic surface detail. This plastic assembly kit is aimed at hobbyists who value fidelity to the original carrier's lines and structure.

Components are engineered to let builders reproduce the ship's mid-20th century profile with care. The Essex notably served across major Pacific operations, and this model provides a hands-on way to explore that naval history while producing a museum-style display model after careful finishing.
