The Doolittle Raid
Being both a history buff and a child at heart, I ordered this scale model of the USS Hornet. It is in the 1/700 series and will go nicely with other ships of this scale. Since the deck is covered by B-25 Mitchell bombers, it is immediately apparent to anyone who knows much about WW II history that this was a moment in time when Col. Jimmy Doolittle planned and launched...

Not a Toy
This is not a toy. If a child were to play with it, it would break. It is more of a model built for display. I would not recommend this for a child who wanted to play with a ship. As a pre-built model, it's not too bad. None of the parts move (the turrets) but I would buy this or other products like it again for display purposes.

Being both a history buff and a child at heart, I ordered this scale model of the USS Hornet. It is in the 1/700 series and will go nicely with other ships of this scale. Since the deck is covered by B-25 Mitchell bombers, it is immediately apparent to anyone who knows much about WW II history that this was a moment in time when Col. Jimmy Doolittle planned and launched the first American bombing raid on Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
I think the level of detail is wonderful for the price range. I would love to be able to afford those exquisite ship models that cost 2 or 3 thousand dollars, but they are not in my budget. This fits the bill. Great price, great product, great service...what's not to like?
