Early morning, April 18th, massive 30-foot swells lift the ship like a bronco trying to shake a cowboy as the flight deck turns to take a 40+mph gale straight in the teeth. Thickly muffled crews rush to the massive planes that take up nearly the full width of the flight deck. Bombers. B-25s. America's answer to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Japan thought they'd knock us out of the war in one blow. Like hell. It's 690 miles to Japan from where the Hornet rides the bucking ocean, but the B-25s are ready to deliver the message. Today, Tojo gets one right in the nose. Kit features structured deck, waterline hull, 16 B-25 bombers, and authentic decals.
