Called the "mosquito fleet" in the popular press, these sleek and deadly wooden boats served in both the Pacific and Atlantic theaters.This beautiful handmade authentic USS Hornet CV-8 (Doolittle) Wood Model Ship is made entirely by hand, from the hand crafting of the fuselage, wings and tail section - to the sanding of the aircraft's contours. Every part of the USS Hornet CV-8 (Doolittle) Wood Model Ship is assembled precisely into place using the highest quality material available. After shaping and sanding, the model passes through several stages of priming and sanding before the USS Hornet CV-8 (Doolittle) Wood Model Ship is hand painted to duplicate the actual colors of a selected historical aircraft. Artisans detail from researched reference materials, including all the insignias, squadron badges, nose art, emblems and serial numbers to replicate the original aircraft to scale. Our USS Hornet CV-8 (Doolittle) Wood Model Ship comes with base stand ready for display.
