Aoshima 1/700 HMS Ark Royal 1941 - Compact carrier replica

HMS Ark Royal is a standout ship in WWII naval history. Entering service in November 1938, she featured a two-stage flight deck and represented a notable step in carrier evolution.

In May 1941 aircraft from Ark Royal were key participants in locating and neutralising the German battleship Bismarck, a turning point in Atlantic operations. This 1/700 scale kit from Aoshima captures that legacy in a compact, display-ready form.
