Capture a WWII workhorse with the USS Sangamon, a detailed 1/350 scale Trumpeter replica of the CVE-26 escort carrier with included photo-etch
Key Features
Overview
The Sangamon-class escort carriers were a unique and vital asset for the U.S. Navy in WWII, ingeniously converted from oil tanker hulls in 1942. The USS Sangamon (CVE-26) herself had a distinguished career, participating in the Allied landings in North Africa and Normandy before transferring to the Pacific. There, she fought in major actions including the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.
This 1/350 scale kit from Trumpeter is a detailed replica of this hard-working escort carrier. The model contains over 390 parts and features a split hull design, allowing it to be built as either a full hull or a waterline model. The kit includes a finely rendered wood deck pattern, a photo-etched fret for fine details, a full complement of aircraft, and a display stand.
