Eduard 1/72 USN Carrier Deck 1943-1944

By Matt Bittner

So far Eduard has released a USN Carrier Deck 1943-1944 Lift Area (#73416), a 1942-1944 Lift Area (#73418), an actual deck section from 1942-1944 (#73421), as well as a Lift Area from 1944-1945 (#73419). This time Eduard releases a Carrier Deck section from 1943-1944 (#73420).

As with the other Carrier Deck pieces put out from Eduard, I will mount this to a piece of wood for easier handling, but for now it looks great under any model of that time-frame unmounted.

You can see in the extra photo that I have my Eduard F6F-3 sitting on top of Carrier Deck section. Could multiple sections be glued together to create a larger display? Probably. There were no actual instructions in the baggie, instead leaving it to the modeler's imagination on how to use these sections. I did try to put this together with the Lift Area, but there is no logical way the two pieces can be brought together. At least none that I found.

Many thanks to Eduard for supplying this Carrier Deck to review.
