He spent three months on it. - This was one of my son's favorite models to put together. The directions were very clear. The size and scale were as advertised. It is decent quality and the standard for most models of this skill level. Good value. Review: Great! - This model was great for my 11 year old grandson to put together. At first he was overwhelmed by all the pieces but his Grandpa instructed him to follow step by step. Took him about 3 partial days but he was so proud to have finished it! ## Features - Finely engraved Hull and deck - Highly detailed superstructure and antenna mast - 58 aircraft and vehicles included - Comprehensive decal sheet - Large display stand included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0006MZRK0 | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Art Craft Kit Type | Plastic Model Kit | | Brand Name | ACADEMY HOBBY MODEL KITS | | Color | Navy | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (150) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00603550014444 | | Included Components | comprehensive decal sheet, precise color chart, large display stand, 58 deck aircraft and vehicles, display stand with nameplate | | Item Dimensions | 15.75 x 3.7 x 6.4 inches | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Model Rectifier Corp. | | Material Type | Plastic | | Number of Pieces | 58 | | Paint Type | Acrylic or Enamel | | Scale | 1/800th scale | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | Large | | Subject Character | Kitty Hawk | | Theme | Vehicles,Aircraft | | UPC | 885318921489 033170326908 603550014444 885174594094 885164645744 | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer will repair at its expense any product proven defective by reason of improper workmanship or materials.
