Replicate the 1942 USS Astoria CA-34 with Trumpeter Accuracy

The Trumpeter 05743 - 1/700 USS Astoria CA-34 1942 Model Kit enables UK builders to produce a compact, historically informed model of the New Orleans-class heavy cruiser. The kit captures silhouette and deck detail appropriate to 1942 and supports careful painting, weathering, and rigging for a convincing finish.

  • Scale: 1:700
  • Physical dimensions: L 256.2mm x W 27.4mm x H 63.2mm
  • Included plastic parts: 196
  • Decal set: USS Navy

Is gluing required for assembly?

Yes. Standard plastic cement is recommended for most joins; small detail fixes may benefit from CA glue but use sparingly to avoid damage to fine parts.

Can I display this model on a shelf without additional support?

The model sits well on flat surfaces, but a small plinth or included mounting base improves stability and presentation for long-term display.

What level of detail can be achieved with aftermarket kits?

Aftermarket photoetched sets and resin fittings can significantly improve railings, radar and small parts, allowing a near-museum standard result when combined with fine paintwork.
