Trumpeter 05747 1:700 USS San Francisco CA-38 Plastic Kit  [TP05747]

Trumpeter USS San Francisco CA-38 1:700 kit description

This 1:700 scale plastic model represents the World War II heavy cruiser USS San Francisco CA-38 and is part of Trumpeter's 1:700 warship lineup, intended for modellers and collectors seeking accurate exterior representation.

The New Orleans class were the concluding interwar heavy cruisers constructed for the United States Navy under treaty limitations. Seven ships were completed with largely similar external profiles; over the course of the war, displacement rose as radar suites, electronics and additional anti-aircraft armament were installed. Ships of the class saw widespread action in the Pacific, and those that survived earned numerous battle distinctions during World War II.

This kit reproduces USS San Francisco's 1944 appearance with decals for the Measure 33/13d camouflage pattern. Moulding details include a one-piece slide-moulded upper hull to assist hull alignment and reduce the need for extensive seam finishing. The parts configuration suits modellers concentrating on deck detail and external fittings rather than internal assemblies.

A detailed small-scale depiction of USS San Francisco in her 1944 camouflaged configuration, well suited for display and historical modelling projects.
