No, she isn’t Yorktown, but she is Yorktown class. The Academy Models 1/700 scale model of CV-6, was built as a test of the Academy kit to see if it or the Trumpeter version in the same scale would be a better subject for builds of Yorktown herself.

While the kit has a few issues, it’s a great project. Everything needed but paint and glue (and not much glue is needed) is in the box, and component fit is excellent. Read the full review and see finished photos HERE.
