Shandong Aircraft Carrier (Version 1.0) (Qiji 23024（1.0版）上册)

About this set

This is the KEEPPLEY 23024 Shandong (1.0 version), volume one, from the Great National Treasures military model series. It builds the aircraft carrier at 1:378 scale, with the hull, flight deck, island, radar mast, carrier aircraft and side weapon platforms included. The color scheme is gray, red, white and yellow, with a red lower hull and propellers as separate structures. Sort parts by color first, build from the bottom of the hull upward, and leave the island and mast for last so you do not knock them over mid-build. At 2/5 difficulty it is a low-intensity build, and volume one covers only part of the hull, so the deck and island layering read clearly when done. The box mentions power wiring and light-part testing, so you can check the wiring as you go. It suits newcomers to military models who want to start with a section of the hull, and builders who plan to work through the volumes separately.
