Shandong Aircraft Carrier (Version 2.0) (Qiji 23024 (Version 2.0) Volume 2)

About this set

This is the volume 2 kit of KEEPPLEY's Shandong carrier in the 2.0 version, kit number 23024, part of the Great National Treasures series under the military model line. The box states a 1:378 ratio and a part count of 3420, and the finished model is an aircraft carrier built mainly in grey with red, yellow and white accents. The flight deck, ski-jump deck, island, carrier aircraft, hull number 17, propellers and radar antennas are all represented, and the layered island-to-deck relationship is what carries the display presence. Difficulty is rated 2/5, so the build is not demanding, but with 3420 pieces it pays to follow the numbered bags: finish the hull structure and deck plating first, then move to island detail and the aircraft, and save the hull number 17 and the small radar antenna parts for last so you are not digging through loose parts while the main assembly is still open. It suits builders interested in carrier subjects who want a licensed 1:378 display model, and anyone who already built the companion volume and wants the pair.
