USS GAMBIER BAY 1/192 SCALE 32.25” Long
Meeting a critical need for aircraft carriers that could be built quickly and economically, Henry Kaiser created a small escort carrier based on a merchant hull. Launched in November, 1943, the GAMBIER BAY saw action at Saipan and Tinian. As part of the famous Taffy III Battle Group, she was crucial in halting the advance of the Japanese Imperial Fleet. This kit is one of the most excitingly detailed WWII ships we've ever built. Included in the kit are three each of the two types of aircraft (TBM- 1-C Avengers and FM-2 Wildcats) carried by the GAMBIER BAY, finely cast in resin, with brass props and landing gear, and insignia decals.
