1/700 Scale CV-3 Saratoga Ship Model Overview

The Tamiya 25179 captures the USS Saratoga CV-3 in fine scale, combining Tamiya plastic parts with Pontos Model detail-up components to enrich the build. This pairing provides visible gains in fidelity for small-scale assembly.

Combat History Reflected in the Kit

The Saratoga saw extensive action in the Pacific and the kit mirrors her configuration during late war operations, including the characteristic starboard bulge noted at the Battle of Iwo Jima in February 1945.

Enhanced Brass and Photo-Etch Components

Included are four photo-etched sheets to model railings, AA systems, and bridge detail, alongside brass items for gun barrels and the mast. The pre-colored deck plate and dry decals help fast-track accurate deck presentation.

Scale: 1/700
Length: 396mm
Photo-etch parts: Included
Decals: Included
Construction type: Assembly kit

Can I install aftermarket electronics or lighting?

The kit is primarily a static display model, but skilled modellers can adapt small LED systems; plan wiring carefully to avoid harming delicate photo-etch parts.

What skill level suits this kit?

This edition is best for intermediate to advanced builders given the small-scale photo-etched parts and fine brass components that demand precise assembly.
