Meeting a critical need for aircraft
carriers that could be built quickly and economically, Henry Kaiser created a small escort
carrier based on a merchant hull. Launched in November, 1943, the GAMBIER BAY saw action
at Saipan and Tinian. As part of the famous Taffy III Battle Group, she was crucial in
halting the advance of the Japanese Imperial Fleet. This kit is one of the most excitingly
detailed WWII ships we've ever built. Included in the kit are three each of the two types
of aircraft (TBM- 1-C Avengers and FM-2 Wildcats) carried by the GAMBIER BAY, finely cast
in resin, with brass props and landing gear, and insignia decals. |
