Dragon U.S.S. Independence CVL-22 | 1:350 Scale Aircraft Carrier

Build one of the United States Navy's most distinguished light aircraft carriers with the Dragon U.S.S. Independence CVL-22. This 1:350 scale plastic model kit recreates the famous carrier that served throughout the Pacific during the Second World War, taking part in major operations including the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Philippines Campaign, and the Battle of Okinawa.

This highly detailed kit uses advanced slide-mould technology to capture the appearance of the historic carrier with exceptional accuracy. A selection of photo-etched parts adds even greater realism, while a large complement of aircraft, vehicles, and crew allows you to create an authentic flight deck display.

The kit includes 18 scale aircraft, comprising 6 SBD dive bombers, 6 TBF torpedo bombers, and 6 F6F fighter aircraft, along with 18 crew figures and 8 support vehicles. Two assembly options allow you to build the carrier in either its shakedown or war cruise configuration, giving you flexibility when recreating this famous warship.

Supplied unpainted and requiring assembly, this impressive static display model is an outstanding centrepiece for any World War II naval collection.
