USS Wasp was a United States Navy Aircraft Carrier built between 1936 and 1940. She was designed to use up the remaining carrier tonnage allowed to the USN and as such was essentially a reduced version of the Yorkton class Carrier.    Initially serving in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, she was transferred to the Pacific in June 1942 to replace losses incurred at the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway. USS Wasp was sunk by the Japanese Submarine I-19 on 15th September 1942    The model is designed in 1/1800 scale but prints at 1/2400 perfectly.    We have tested a few of our designs at two additional scales: 1/3000 and 1/1200 which have all turned out really well. At 1/3000 scale though some components are very small and require additional patience when assembling.
