Tamiya Waterline Series
Tamiya U.S. Escort Carrier CVE-9 Bogue (1/700)
This 1/700 scale plastic model assembly kit depicts the USS Bogue (CVE-9), one of the most important escort carriers used by the United States Navy during World War II. The Bogue-class ships were instrumental in protecting Allied convoys in the Atlantic, especially during the critical years of the Battle of the Atlantic. Converted from merchant hulls, these vessels provided air cover to convoys and played a key role in anti-submarine warfare against the German U-boat threat.
