The USS Quincy CA-39 was part of the New Orleans class, showcasing naval design trends between the wars and into World War II. Trumpeter's 1:700 model represents the ship's profile and wartime additions, reflecting how displacement rose as radar and anti-aircraft fittings were installed. The New Orleans class amassed 63 Battle Stars across Pacific service.
These cruisers played roles in many major confrontations against Japanese naval forces, making the USS Quincy a compelling subject for scale representation. The Trumpeter 05748 USS Quincy CA-39 kit gives modellers a historically grounded platform to build and display a notable wartime cruiser.
The assembly offers a focused modelling challenge, with 188 parts requiring careful handling and precise gluing. The single-piece slide-molded upper hull supports a neat build and helps when preparing the model for painting and display.
