WWII Aircraft Carriers [1:200 and 1:400]
Hey.
I have been looking around for a Aircraft carrier from the WWII era. Specialy in the 1:200 scale. So I was thinking of doing a list of what have been made so far. Because the carriers in the 1:400 scale is so easy to do in 1:200 I included them in this list as well. So here we go. 1:200 WWII Aircraft Carriers: Answer mkf IJN Junyo GPM 102 Graf Zeppelin GPM 159 Shokaku GPM 165 Zuikaku GPM 231 USS Lexington (cv-2) GPM 223 USS Saratoga (cv-3) Fly Model 81 USS Saratoga (cv-3) Halinski USS Gamber Bay That's what I have found so far. IF anyone have anything more that has been released, feel free to add to the list. Here continue the list of my finds 1:400 WWII Aircraft carriers: Ecardmodels HMS Colossus (Ecard also have the USS Tavara LHA 1 from 1972, no WWII carrier) JSC 4 Card JSC 9 Intrepid JSC 27 Victorious JSC 38 Graf Zeppelin JSC 76 Zuiho JSC 84 Shinano I kind of left out the 1:300 scale because there was not so many carriers. BUT I do have a few so I just put up another list here: 1:300 WWII Aircraft Carriers GPM 23 Hiryu Halinski 93-05 Uss Enterprise Cv 6 Halinski 93-04 Hms victorious Fly Model 063 IJN Akagi Maly Modelarz USS Essex Maly Modelarz Ark Royal Maly Modelarz "Arromanches" (former HMS colossus) Modelarz Arromanches R-95 Any more Aircraft Carriers out there? I found this polish site where someone is making the USS WASP: USS WASP CV7 There you have it. Please let me know if I have missed any carriers!!! Now What ship should I build? |

IJN Junyo has an interesting look. She was initially built to become the civilian passenger ship Kashiwara Maru.

i for one never knew the Germans had an aircraft carrier till a few months ago? There i am a reader of history and I never knew that fact. since then i found that they found the wreck only in the last four years?

Yes, the germans had the Graf Zeppelin in the works but they also had another one on the planing stage. Jsc have another carrier that I left out:
Its called the Weser but it never left the planing stage: German aircraft carrier WESER (JSC 401) So, do anyone know if I have left any carriers out from my list? And what is the best model to start with if I want to build one in the 1:200 scale? |

Yeah, I kind of left that out because it's not a WWII carrier.
It would have been great if there was any models of the USS Hornet (CV-12) or the USS Yorktown (CV-10)? |

Not sure if this be a good idea or if you would feel like just making a few changes but wasn't USS Enterprise Yorktowns sister ship. A bit of taking from there adding and you could have a yorktown?

I believe Angraf also does the Graf Zeppelin in 1/200th scale. I have the GPM version and it was not cheap since it is considered a discontinued kit. The Angraf kit is way more accurate, but is still not totally accurate, but is better than the GPM one. I have seen an individual combine a Bismarck hull w/the Angraf to produce a as accurate version as possible of this WWII Aircraft Carrier. I do find this a very interesting design for the ships time of development. One of the features that I find most interesting is that the special designed Me109's were launched from this carrier, rather than taking of under their own power! :DRick
