¹⁄72

Italeri has re-released the 1/72 scale a section of a US Navy Flight Deck including a JBD

The kit allows you to make a flight deck section of a modern aircraft carrier. Great care in the details of the catapult and of the Jet Blaster Deflector used to prevent possible damages generated by the aircraft exhausts blasts during the take-off. The Jet blast deflector is raised and lowered by hydraulic cylinders reproduced in the scale model kit. The carrier deck section is the ideal scenario to build up interesting dioramas with carrier-based aircrafts scale models.

This is a relatively new product by Italeri, first released in 2012 [Scalemates]. The deck measures 40.5 cm x 23.5 cm. It seems generally agreed that the deck section is modeled on the No 2 catapult of a Nimitz class carrier.
