As already mentioned, Revell did indeed release, in many guises, an angled
deck Essex in about 1/540 scale. Boxes included Wasp. The only difference in
the releases was the air group. The Wasp release, which I actually have,
includes an ASW wing with helos, S2Fs and A4s, and even a gemini capsule.
The kit is not 100% accurate fof ANY Essex, as they were all different, but
has a combination of many features. It does build into a fairly impressive
model and Gold Medal Models offers an extensive etched set for it. HTH
