Shandong Aircraft Carrier (Version 3.0) (Qiji 23024 (Version 3.0) Volume 2)

About this set

This is the KEEPPLEY 23024 volume two, boxed as the Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong and part of the “National Heavy Equipment” military-model series. It is marked 1:378 on the box and rates 2/5 for difficulty. The finished model uses gray, red and yellow to capture the carrier’s main features: the ski-jump deck, island, carrier aircraft, naval guns, hull number 17 and propellers all come together as you build. A practical build order is to start with the hull and main structure, establish the deck-to-island massing, then add the aircraft, guns and propellers so the scale reads clearly and small parts do not stall progress. At 2/5 this is approachable for builders new to military models and suits fans of carrier subjects who want a 1:378 display set; the licensed branding and stated ratio also make it a fitting themed piece.
