Historia Emporium – The History Store is pleased to announce the arrival of the Trumpeter 1/350 Scale USS Sangamon (CVE-26) plastic model kit. This finely detailed kit brings to life one of the most unique and hardworking escort carriers of World War II.
The USS Sangamon began her service not as a warship, but as a Cimarron-class fleet oiler. Converted into an escort carrier in early 1942, she served with distinction in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. As the lead ship of her class, the Sangamon participated in critical operations including the invasion of North Africa, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and the campaign for Okinawa. Her versatility and durability made her an essential part of the U.S. Navy's carrier force, providing air support for amphibious landings and convoy protection in contested waters.
This 1/350 scale model kit by Trumpeter accurately captures the vessel’s wartime configuration with detailed flight deck, hangar bay, armament, and aircraft components. It’s a perfect build for naval history enthusiasts and advanced modelers looking to expand their collection with a lesser-known but highly impactful warship.
