USS VINCENNES CA-44 Trumpeter 05749 Collector Model Kit  [TP05749]

Overview of Trumpeter 05749 USS Vincennes CA-44

The Trumpeter 05749 USS Vincennes CA-44 kit renders the New Orleans class heavy cruiser in 1:700 scale, highlighting the vessel's service during World War II in the Pacific. The class was reduced to four active ships by 1942 but continued to serve prominently, earning 63 Battle Stars collectively.

Historical Notes and Modelling Value

As late interwar treaty cruisers, the New Orleans class combined structural strength with room for wartime additions. Later refits added radar and extra anti-aircraft weapons, changing the ships profile in ways that present interesting modelling options for accuracy-minded builders.
