Detailed carrier kit - Italeri 5531 U.S.S. Roosevelt

The Italeri 1/720 scale kit presents the U.S.S. Roosevelt, a prominent member of the Nimitz-class carriers. Entering service in 1984, the ship represents a key example of nuclear carrier design. This model kit is crafted to reflect the vessel's silhouette and operational layout.

True to carrier roles

The real U.S.S. Roosevelt supports a substantial crew complement and an air wing. It is rated to house roughly 8,000 personnel and to operate close to 100 aircraft, while nuclear reactors allow long intervals between refuelling. The model reproduces the carrier's profile and deck arrangement for accurate representation.

Construction notes and finish

Designed for hobbyists who value realistic results, the Italeri 1/720 kit provides parts intended for careful assembly and painting. When completed, the model creates a striking display piece suitable for cabinets or themed exhibits concentrating on modern naval vessels.

Specifications

At 1/720 scale, subtle shading and careful deck markings give strong impact. Use thin washes and fine brushes or decals to define small features without overpainting.
The kit typically includes basic assembly guides. Fine rigging or antennae are often added by modellers using thread or aftermarket parts for greater accuracy.
With proper gluing and reinforcement on key joins, the completed model is reasonably robust. Transport in a padded box or display case is recommended to protect delicate details.
