Revell 05178 Assault Carrier USS WASP CLASS 1/700 – plastic model kit

The Revell 05178 Assault Carrier USS WASP CLASS model in 1/700 scale is a precisely made plastic assembly kit depicting a modern American Wasp-class (LHD) amphibious assault ship, one of the key vessels of the US Navy. This series of ships was designed to carry entire United States Marine Corps Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU). Based on the systems of the predecessor Tarawa-class, the Wasp-class features a wide well deck, spacious flight deck, and the capability to operate advanced helicopters and V/STOL aircraft such as the AV-8B Harrier II and the modern F-35B Lightning II.

This kit belongs to the plastic model assembly category and is intended for intermediate and advanced modelers. Wasp-class ships have played and still play a crucial operational role from the end of the Cold War to modern times; the first ship of the class was commissioned in 1989. The USS Wasp and its sister ships have participated in numerous military operations, such as Operation Desert Storm, along with humanitarian and rescue missions around the world.
