Why this kit matters
The USS Enterprise (CV-6), nicknamed "The Big E," was a Yorktown-class aircraft carrier that served with distinction throughout World War II. She participated in more major actions against the Japanese than any other U.S. Navy ship, including the Battle of Midway, where her air groups played a decisive role in sinking four Japanese carriers. The Enterprise earned 20 battle stars, a Presidential Unit Citation, and a Navy Unit Commendation, making her the most decorated U.S. Navy ship of the war. This kit allows you to recreate a key vessel from one of the most important naval battles in history.
Building this model allows you to recreate a significant piece of WWII naval history in detailed miniature, while also commemorating a key moment in the Pacific Theater. The USS Enterprise is an iconic ship, and this kit captures the essence of its design and operational capabilities. The finished model serves as a tribute to the sailors and airmen who served aboard her and a reminder of the sacrifices made during the war.
