Hobby Boss 83404 USS Kearsarge LHD-3 1/700 – Plastic Model of an Amphibious Assault Ship

Hobby Boss 83404 USS Kearsarge LHD-3 is a high-quality plastic model kit in 1/700 scale, designed for advanced and intermediate modelers who value historical accuracy and attention to detail. The model represents the USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) – an American Wasp-class amphibious assault ship used by the United States Navy from 1993 to the present day. This vessel was built to support Marine Corps landings, carry vertical take-off aircraft and helicopters, as well as provide security for amphibious operations in conflict zones. USS Kearsarge has participated in military operations in the Balkans, the Persian Gulf, and numerous humanitarian missions.

• Model scale: 1/700
• Operating country: United States
• Historical period: modern era (since 1993)
• Category: plastic model kit

The kit features an impressive total of over 600 parts spread over 34 sprues, including separate hull sections, a flight deck, and a display stand. Considering the finished model size (368 mm in length), the precision of the representation is particularly remarkable. The box also includes miniature Marine Corps vehicles (M1A1 Abrams, M60A3, AAV-7, LAV-25, and others), landing craft (LCAC, LCU), as well as a wide selection of helicopters and aircraft: AV-8B Harrier, CH-46E, CH-53E, MV-22 Osprey, AH-1W Cobra, and SH-60F.

Assembly requires precision and is recommended for modelers with intermediate or advanced experience (difficulty level: 4/5). Thanks to its very rich details and photo-etched parts, the Hobby Boss 83404 USS Kearsarge LHD-3 in 1/700 scale is an excellent choice both for collectors of modern warships and for enthusiasts of the U.S. Navy and 21st-century military technology. Paints and glue are not included.

Highly recommended for demanding modelers who want to create a realistic amphibious assault ship with many moving and static elements, richly equipped with aircraft and landing vehicles.
