Academy 14107 1/350 U.S.S. CA-35 Indianapolis Precision Model Kit  [AC-14107]

Academy 14107 - Scale 1/350 U.S.S. CA-35 Indianapolis Cruiser

The Academy 1/350 scale kit of the U.S.S. CA-35 Indianapolis gives model builders a finely detailed way to study the history and construction of this notable World War II cruiser. A Portland-class heavy cruiser that played key roles in the Pacific and later carried components related to the Hiroshima mission, the Indianapolis is represented here with careful molding and attention to scale accuracy.

Why the Indianapolis Matters to Modelers

The U.S.S. Indianapolis is remembered both for its wartime service and its tragic sinking after completing a critical delivery. This kit pays respect to that story, allowing hobbyists to recreate the ship's profile and fittings. Detailed parts reflect the ship's gun mounts and deck layout so builders can examine its naval arrangement.

Building Experience and Display Value

Assembling the Indianapolis model is a rewarding project for modellers with some kit experience. The moulded components require precise glueing and careful painting to reach an authentic look. When finished the model makes an impressive display piece, whether shown alone or paired with other World War II ships.
