Tamiya 31711 - 1/700 USS Bogue Escort Carrier Kit for Dioramas and Display  [31711]

Compact Tamiya 1/700 USS Bogue WWII Escort Carrier

The Tamiya 31711 presents the USS Bogue in finely moulded 1/700 scale, giving modellers a compact but accurate representation of an escort carrier used to protect convoys. The kit is well suited to display placements and small-scale dioramas.

Historical Background and Accuracy

Escort carriers like the USS Bogue were a practical response to submarine threats, often adapted from merchant designs to provide airborne reconnaissance and attack capabilities. Their presence improved convoy survival rates during long Atlantic crossings.

Modelling Highlights

This plastic kit emphasises deck layout and aircraft handling areas. The small parts and tight fits reward builders who enjoy precise painting, weathering and the challenge of recreating wartime detail at 1/700 scale.
