USS Sangamon (CVE-26) belonged to the group of escort carriers converted from Sangamon-class oilers. She took an active part in World War II operations in the Pacific—supporting landings, escorting convoys, and providing air cover, such as during the Iwo Jima and Okinawa landings. Her service began in 1942 and ended in 1945 after the war. The island of this ship served as the command center and housed navigation systems, radars, and light weaponry, all of which can now be reproduced by modelers with unparalleled accuracy.

The Eduard 53310 set is made using photo-etched brass technology, offering ultra-thin, multi-layered details unattainable with traditional plastic parts. It includes intricate railings, ladders, radars (including SC, SG), as well as window, door, and protective glass elements. Additional resin parts allow you to upgrade your model with the most complex sections of the island’s infrastructure, achieving the highest level of authenticity.

Assembly difficulty level: 4/5. Precision, familiarity with photo-etched parts, and basic experience in working with resin are required.

By choosing Eduard 53310, you gain a guarantee of the highest quality details, elevate the realism of your model to a master level, and achieve tremendous satisfaction with the final effect.
