Eduard 53217 USS Saratoga CV-3 pt.2 TRUMPETER 1/350 – Detail Set for Aircraft Carrier Model

The Eduard 53217 USS Saratoga CV-3 pt.2 set is an excellent addition to the USS Saratoga CV-3 aircraft carrier plastic model in 1/350 scale, dedicated to the Trumpeter kit. Produced by the renowned company Eduard, specializing in accessories and photo-etched details, this set allows you to significantly enhance the realism and detail of your replica of this famous United States Navy ship.

The USS Saratoga (CV-3) was one of the most important American aircraft carriers of World War II. Launched in 1925, she entered service in 1927 and played a key role in Pacific operations, including the battles for Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, and Bougainville. Saratoga earned seven battle stars, and her active service lasted until 1946. The ship was also unique due to her construction—built on a battlecruiser hull, which gave her a distinctive profile.

The Eduard 53217 set includes a high-quality sheet of brass photo-etched details. These elements are designed for upgrading the model—allowing you to reproduce details that are impossible to achieve with standard plastic injection-molding, such as railings, ladders, walkways, minor armament, complete radars, deck fittings, and highly realistic bridge and hangar details. The set does not include any plastic or resin components but offers unrivaled detail compared to the base version of the model.
