1/700 CVN-78 USS Gerald Ford Carrier Magic Factory #6401 Factory Sealed MISB

Description: I should really clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. Magic Factory is a new model company from China. They made a big splash a few years ago with their interesting releases of unusual subjects like the Iron Dome Air Defense System, Chinese Rocket Launch Platform and MRZR ATV. This is a very audacious release of the newest US aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford CVN-78 with plenty of flight deck and hangar deck detail, along with optional features and a nice air wing. There are dozens of listings for this kit on eBay (mostly from distant overseas sellers), but as a Top Rated Plus US Seller, I have this in stock and can reliably ship this to you quickly. Here are some of the details about this incredibly detailed kit that my research uncovered from around the web: The Magic Factory site (magicfactory.ltd) has several photos of a wonderfully finished model, along with over a dozen shots of the sprues, hull, flight deck, PE parts and decal sheets. From other sources, I found the following list of features: an extensive history of the USS Ford and USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier (CVN 78) is the lead ship of Ford class and costs 13 billion dollars, which is the most expensive US Navy warship ever. USS Gerald R. Ford was christened on 9 November 2013, delivered to the Navy on 31 May 2017 and formally commissioned on 22 July 2017. The Ford took 8 years to build and became the most powerful strike force in the world. USS Ford applied several hi-tech first-in-class technologies, including a new nuclear plant A1B, 4 electromagnetic aircraft launch systems (EMALS), a phased-array dual band radar (DBR), shipborne laser defense system and so on. USS Ford has different kinds of shipborne attack and air defense self-defense weapons, including RIM-162ESSM, RIM-116RAM,Phalanx CIWS, Mark 38 25mm machine gun system. · Aircraft elevators are able to move along the track· Rich in detail and shows the latest status from 2023· Waterline Hull or Full Hull options· Jet blast deflector and hangar door can be opened/closed· Provided with the latest F-35C Lightning II fighter & MQ-25 Stingray aerial refueling drone· Includes decals of multi-fighter squadrons Scalemates.com has a listing that verifies that this is a brand-new 2023 tooling.

He points out the large clear plastic inserts that hold the hull parts and flight deck securely in place and separate from the rest of the kit parts. There is a variety of aircraft to sit on the detailed flight deck. Andy's Hobby Headquarters delivered a 20-minute “Special Preview” Video on YouTube that starts outside the box before pulling out the hull parts. The superstructure parts have sharp details and the hangar deck is also well appointed. He was impressed with the finer parts, like antennas and even aircraft landing gear and props. florymodels posted a thorough (over 21 minutes) Unboxing Video on YouTube. He runs you around the box to give you a look at the package. He pulls out the full-color painting and decal guide, which is the size of the box. Next, he empties the box of the molded insert holding the big parts and the wrapped sprues and other parts. He dives into a review of the instructions, followed by the PE fret. The two large sheets of decals are next and then the flight deck and hulls. He wraps things up with the detailed plastic sprues with impressive details and high molding quality. This kit is in a large, sturdy box about 22” x 9.5” x 4” with dramatic box art. As you can see from the pictures, the package is pristine and still sealed with tape strips, so I consider it factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready. This item contains one complete injection molded plastic model kit with detailed plastic pieces and two sheets of decals to make a Full Hull or Waterline Hull model of the newest USN Ford-class aircraft carrier. It requires cement and paint to complete as shown. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays winning bid and for a limited time, this large item is offered with $14 Flat Rate Shipping in the US! No reserve and a low starting bid.

I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder). As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
