Neptun T1321 US Aircraft Carrier Mission Bay Camouflaged 1944 1/1250 Scale Model
Back in Stock: USS Mission Bay (CVE-59) in Wartime Camouflage
The Neptun T1321 US Aircraft Carrier Mission Bay Camouflaged 1944 1/1250 Scale Model is back in stock at Historia Emporium. This Navis-Neptun release depicts the U.S. Navy escort carrier USS Mission Bay (CVE-59) in a camouflaged 1944 appearance—an excellent choice for collectors building a Pacific-war carrier lineup or a 1/1250 fleet of Allied CVEs in period paint.
About the Model
Navis-Neptun's 1/1250 metal ship models combine crisp casting with carefully researched paint and fittings. This Mission Bay is made of metal alloy with a realistic camouflage finish and historically accurate surface detail where applicable, including flight deck, island, masts, and small craft. It includes:
- 1/1250 scale metal model ship
- Historically accurate paint scheme and markings for a 1944 camouflaged appearance
- Historically accurate surface details, including armament where fitted, stacks, masts, and lifeboats
- Original box included
Ship models in this scale are compact but proportional to the real vessel; a WWII fast battleship or fleet carrier can approach roughly 10 inches in length at 1/1250, while escort carriers are smaller. The model ships well packed; masts and any fine fittings are delicate and may need gentle straightening after delivery.

Historical Context: USS Mission Bay (CVE-59)
USS Mission Bay (CVE-59) was a Casablanca-class escort carrier—one of the mass-produced CVEs that gave the U.S. Navy aviation capacity for convoy protection, training, and forward operations without tying down full-size fleet carriers. Commissioned in 1944, she served in the closing phase of the war in the Pacific, operating aircraft in support roles that helped sustain the advance across the ocean.
Escort carriers are a favourite subject in 1/1250 scale: their distinctive flight decks and islands read clearly on the shelf, and camouflaged wartime schemes add colour and variety beside grey-hull fleet units. Neptun's camouflaged Mission Bay fits naturally alongside other U.S. carriers, cruisers, and destroyers of the mid-war years.
