| The Kitty Hawk is the oldest active carrier serving in the US Navy. One of the few conventionally powered carriers among her Nuclear sisters. Home ported in Yokosuka, Japan operates in the Far east and recently participated in Operation Enduring Freedom. Argos has faithfully reproduced her in her latest configuration in solid metal. The detail is amazing especially in this small scale and it rivals the detail found on large 1/700 carriers. | ||||||||||||||||
