Hobby Boss 82501 USS Ticonderoga CG-47 Scale Model Kit  [HB-82501]

Hobby Boss 82501 USS Ticonderoga CG-47 Collector Kit

The USS Ticonderoga CG-47 represents a milestone in modern naval air defence and ship design. First reclassified as a guided missile cruiser in 1980, it was the initial surface combatant fitted with the AEGIS Weapons System, a major advance for fleet-level air protection.

Why This Ship Matters and What the Kit Recreates

The Ticonderoga class is notable for its vertical launch systems that enable the use of long-range TOMAHAWK cruise missiles alongside integrated AEGIS sensors and undersea warfare capability. The Hobby Boss 82501 kit lets modellers reproduce those distinctive features at small scale with clear moulding and accurate profiles.

Build Quality and Presentation

This plastic assembly model highlights fine structural shapes and proportions, making it suitable for display on a shelf or in a dedicated naval collection. The assembly provides a satisfying modelling project for hobbyists who value historical accuracy and crisp detail.
