Fujian Aircraft Carrier (Qiji 23018D)

About this set

This is the Fujian CATOBAR commemorative edition from KEEPPLEY's military model line, set 23018D, marked 1:395 on the box. The build uses gray, red, white and yellow to separate the deck, hull and hull number details, and includes an aircraft carrier deck, island, carrier aircraft, electromagnetic catapult tracks and a segmented hull structure, with the number 18 on the hull side. At difficulty 2/5, it is a gentle build: join the hull sections first, then lay the deck, and fit the island and catapult tracks before adding the small aircraft so they are less likely to be knocked off. New molds, official licensing and upgraded aircraft weapons are the selling points. It suits beginners who want a compact carrier silhouette and makes a decent desktop display piece.
