BELIEVE THIS KIT WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN THE 1950'S. DETAIL IS NOT AS BAD AS MOST LINDBERG KITS BUT A LOT OF 'KIT BASHING' IS REQUIRED TO MAKE A FAIRLY DETAILED SHIP. THE KIT HAS A NUMBER OF INACCURACIES YOU'LL NEED TO OVERLOOK [it's actually a long hulled ESSEX CLASS ship/i.e. CV-14,19,21 etc] BUT A DECENT KIT TO BUILD AS LONG AS YOU DO SOME RESEARCH & BE CREATIVE.

This an old kit that’s been around for decades, but it one of Lindberg’s better models. Well molded and parts go together easily with little modeling involved. This is a nice size model and parts are large which makes this a good beginners model. My only problem is that all the hanger bay doors are all open, in the newer rerelease kits they come with a cardboard deck to fill in the open space. The older kits just leave you with a gaping hole where you can see the inside of the empty hull. Otherwise this is nice kit that will produce a beautiful model.

I had read a few reviews against it but so far it is going together well. At my age (79) I am no longer a perfectionist as my hands are not that steady. I have been aboard the Yorktown at Patriots Point, SC on 2 occasions and enjoyed the visit. That is why I wanted a Yorktown model.

It is a good addition to my collection and I like the number of aircraft included although I would like to have a variety of the planes the Navy used rather than just hellcats.

It's as advertised

Very affordable price. Item was as advertised. Very prompt delivery. This is an old model kit, and is not as sophisticated as more recent kits. I bought it for its nostaligia benefit.
