Pontos 35011WD1 USS CVL-22 Independence Wooden Deck set Type 1 (1:350) is an extremely precise accessory set dedicated to the plastic model of the USS Independence (CVL-22) aircraft carrier in 1/350 scale, manufactured by Dragon. This top-quality model accessory enables exceptionally realistic recreation of the main wooden deck, providing an unparalleled level of realism and faithfully representing the details of the historical vessel from World War II.

The set includes:

• A laser-cut wooden deck made from high-grade veneer with authentic wood grain, perfectly replicating the original deck planking of the Independence-class carrier.
• Photo-etched parts made from thin, durable brass sheet, designed to enhance details such as railings, ladders, deck fittings, and other features characteristic of the USS CVL-22.
• Dry transfer – a sheet of decals enabling precise and neat application of the deck markings and symbols used on the ship during World War II.

The USS Independence (CVL-22) was one of the most famous light aircraft carriers of the United States Navy, which served intensively in the Pacific during World War II. It participated in, among others, the Battle of the Gilbert and Marshall Islands and supported Allied landings in the Philippines from 1943–1945, making it an excellent subject for advanced historical modelers, US Navy fleet enthusiasts, and WWII era fans.

This set is made from the highest quality materials (wood veneer, metal, decals) and is specifically designed for the Dragon 1/350 model. It is intended for modeling enthusiasts seeking maximum realism and challenges in replicating details of historical ships. We especially recommend it to experienced modelers – the assembly difficulty is rated at 4/5, due to the need for great precision and accurate fitting of delicate photo-etched and wooden veneer components.
