Academy 14107 1/350 U.S.S. CA-35 Indianapolis Historic Cruiser Kit  [AC-14107]

Academy 14107 - 1/350 U.S.S. CA-35 Indianapolis Scale Representation

The Academy 1/350 model of the U.S.S. CA-35 Indianapolis allows historians and modellers to reconstruct a noted World War II cruiser in faithful scale. As a Portland-class heavy cruiser that later carried components associated with the Hiroshima operation, the Indianapolis is reproduced here with close attention to the form and fittings of the original vessel.

Historical Context and Modelling Interest

The U.S.S. Indianapolis is a vessel of significant historical interest because of its wartime role and the events surrounding its loss. This kit captures that narrative in plastic, offering parts that mirror the ship's armament and deck arrangement so collectors can assemble a convincing replica.

Building Experience and Display Value

Construction of this kit suits modellers who enjoy detailed assembly and finishing. The components are moulded for accuracy and require patient glueing and painting to achieve an authentic result. Finished models make notable centrepieces in naval collections or museum-style displays.
