I think this is the first new ship kit from Academy in quite a while. Interesting that they are going with 1/700 instead of 1/350:

i wish they did it is 350th, their graf spee , warspite and indianapolis are wonderful and very affordable kits , much better on price point than trumpeter ships and somewhat nicer in their parts breakdown imo .

With Academy going 1/700 maybe the chances appear at last for a straight-deck Midway-class, so precisely avoided by Hasegawa, Tamiya, Fujimi, Aoshima, Pit-Road, Dragon, Trumpeter, a.s.o.

Cheers

Shame it isn't a late war Enterprise, as Trumpeter's forthcoming kit could well be early war too. The late war one had many changes including a bulged hull.

 

thanks
