USS Pittsburgh CA-72 1/700 Scale Replica with Fine Detail

The Trumpeter 05726 kit delivers a finely modelled 1/700 representation of the USS Pittsburgh CA-72, a Baltimore-class cruiser active in World War II. The assembly captures key wartime service elements, including the ship's role during the Okinawa operations.

Wartime Service and Model Highlights

Launched into service in 1944, USS Pittsburgh provided screening for carriers and fire support during the Okinawa campaign. Despite losing her bow in a typhoon, she remained in commission through the end of hostilities and earned two battle stars. This kit reflects those historic details and gives builders the choice of waterline or full hull presentation.

  • Scale: 1:700
  • Model Dimensions: Length 296.7 mm, Width 32.2 mm
  • Total Plastic Parts: 264 pieces
  • Includes: 14 sprues, lower hull, upper hull, decks, waterline plate, and display stand
  • Decal Marking: 1944 Measure 33

How long should I expect to build this kit?

Build time depends on experience; a careful assembler can expect several evenings for construction, with additional time for painting, rigging and decals.

Does the kit allow both full hull and waterline displays?

Yes, the kit includes lower and upper hull sections plus a waterline plate, so you can choose to build a full hull model or a waterline version for diorama display.

Are photo-etched parts supplied with the kit?

No photo-etched parts are included; the kit focuses on injection plastic components, though many modellers add aftermarket photo-etch and brass detail sets.
