This model has
NEVER
been touched, taken out of the box or displayed!  It's literally brand new!!  In fact, this is the first and only time the outer shipping box and styrofoam casing have ever been opened to show the complete original packaging as it was done by Franklin Mint!
You can see the still wrapped
paperwork documentation binder with Certificate of Authenticity (also untouched) for the ship, and the 2 smaller boxes that hold the untouched aircraft that gets placed on the deck of the Yorktown!  Once these pictures were taken, the outer box was resealed.
The U.S.S. Yorktown, also known as "The Fighting Lady," was the top aircraft carrier during WWII.  The ship
received a residential unit citation and all battle stars.  The aircraft on the Yorktown was responsible for sinking the I.J.N Yamato battleship (Japans largest naval ship)!
On the other side of the base is a nameplate that shows the numbered limited edition (Very low #18/1943), and is SIGNED by Rear Admiral James W. Condit
!  The ship is approximately 32" long, made out of solid mahogany and is also hand painted!  It's a very rare and hard to find piece with only 1,943 pieces made worldwide!
