USS Lexington (CV-2), nicknamed "Lady Lex", was the name ship of her class of two aircraft carriers built for the United States Navy during the 1920s. Originally designed as a battlecruiser, she was converted into one of the Navy's first aircraft carriers during construction to comply with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922, which essentially terminated all new battleship and battlecruiser construction. The ship entered service in 1928 and was assigned to the Pacific Fleet for her entire career. She also delivered medical personnel and relief supplies to Managua, Nicaragua, after an earthquake in 1931.

This set combines Meng's intensely detailed kit of the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier Lexington with a set of upgrade photo-etched parts, a metal flight deck, a 203mm and 127mm metal gun barrel, and waterslide decals.
