Detailed New Orleans class cruiser kit

The Trumpeter 05746 USS San Francisco CA-38 (1942) kit renders the WWII heavy cruiser in 1:700 scale, preserving the silhouette and fittings associated with the class. The model reflects the ship's wartime role and gives builders a solid basis for a historically informed finish.

Historical notes and modelling focus

The New Orleans class, including the USS San Francisco, played a continuous role in wartime operations and received multiple upgrades. This kit allows modellers to recreate those service changes and illustrates features like enhanced anti-aircraft arrays and radar placement.

Kit complexity and finishing options

Featuring 322 parts, the kit is aimed at modellers who enjoy a detailed build. Both full hull and waterline options are supported and the included decal sheet reproduces the Measure 21 1942 camouflage for authentic presentation.
