Historical Snapshot of the Aircraft Carrier Hornet

The U.S. Aircraft Carrier Hornet is recorded as the eighth carrier commissioned by the U.S. Navy and the third Yorktown-class hull completed under treaty restrictions. It incorporated substantial anti-torpedo protection, while anti-aircraft armament was limited to eight single-barrel 5-inch guns. The ship's turbine plant produced around 120,000 horsepower, enabling speeds near 34 knots.

What the Tamiya 77510 Kit Delivers

This 1/700 Tamiya model renders the Hornet's profile and deck layout with crisp moulding, suitable for builders focusing on neat assembly and clean finishes. The kit is intended for display and benefits from careful painting, decal placement, and optional detailing work.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Build time varies with skill and finishing. Expect several weekends for assembly and basic painting; additional detailing can add many hours.
Decals included with the kit should be applied after painting and a gloss coat. Use decal setting solution for better conformity to deck contours.
Some modellers add aftermarket 1/700 aircraft and tiny crew figures to bring the deck to life. Check scale and fit carefully to avoid overcrowding.
