SKU: MM-PS-002 | Brand: Meng | Product: Meng 1/700 U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Lexington (CV-2) Plastic Model Kit The U.S.S. Lexington (CV-2) originated from a battlecruiser hull authorized prior to the 1920 Washington Naval Treaty. Following treaty restrictions, the incomplete vessel was converted into a full-displacement fleet carrier and entered service in 1927. Before World War II, Lexington served as the primary test platform for developing carrier aviation tactics and operations. During the Pacific War's critical phases, Lexington played a decisive role in constraining Japanese naval forces. MENG's PS-002 kit builds from original construction drawings and extensively researched historical documentation. The 1/700 scale model replicates Lexington's March 1942 configuration, capturing the carrier at a pivotal point in Pacific theater operations. Detailed component engineering ensures historical accuracy throughout the assembly.
