High detail WWII cruiser replica

The Trumpeter 05746 USS San Francisco CA-38 (1942) model kit gives hobbyists the chance to build an accurate 1:700 representation of a New Orleans class heavy cruiser. The USS San Francisco saw extensive service in the Pacific and the kit reflects the ship's wartime profile and role with careful moulding and historically relevant markings.

Service record and modelling appeal

The New Orleans class ships were heavily involved in major naval actions and the USS San Francisco is noted for its active deployment. This kit highlights the class layout and the kinds of wartime upgrades these cruisers received, such as radar and added anti-aircraft armament, offering modellers a clear reference for a realistic finish.

Build challenge and display choices

Intended for modellers who enjoy intricate assembly, this kit contains 322 plastic parts and supports both full hull and waterline configurations to suit display preferences. The included decals replicate the Measure 21 1942 camouflage, providing an authentic look for finished builds.
