This model of the U.S.S. North Carolina is a perfect scale replica of the famous World War Two era battleship that currently resides in Wilmington, NC. When the North Carolina was first launched in June of 1940, she was the most powerful warship in the world and served as a symbol of American military might. After the outbreak of World War Two, she was sent to the Pacific where she served as the personal bodyguard of the most famous aircraft carrier ever built; the U.S.S. Enterprise. The North Carolina saw combat time and again and her guns brought down many Japanese aircraft and sank several ships as well as bombarded countless islands paving the way for the landing of American troops.
Everything about this model is exactly as it was on the real ship during war time and every detail has been accounted for down to the crates of ammunition laying on the decks to supply her many anti-aircraft guns. These models are made to order with a lead time of approximately 90 days ARO and can be picked up in Beaufort, NC or Wilmington, NC or shipped straight to your home. Models are made of solid wood with certain parts such as main gun barrels and propeller shafts being made from metal.
