Trumpeter 05747 USS San Francisco CA-38 1:700 Plastic Model Kit  [TP05747]

Trumpeter USS San Francisco CA-38 1:700 heavy cruiser kit overview

This 1:700 scale plastic model represents the World War II heavy cruiser USS San Francisco CA-38, produced as part of Trumpeter's 1:700 warship range and intended for modellers who prioritise external detail and presentation.

The New Orleans class were the final interwar heavy cruisers built for the United States Navy under treaty restrictions. Seven hulls shared a similar silhouette; wartime modifications increased displacement as radar, electronics, and additional anti-aircraft weapons were fitted. Ships of the class served extensively in the Pacific and surviving units collected multiple battle stars during World War II.

The kit portrays USS San Francisco as she appeared in 1944, with decals supplying the Measure 33/13d camouflage pattern. Molded features include a one-piece slide-molded upper hull to help with hull alignment and reduce seam sanding. The parts layout is aimed at builders interested in deck fittings and external detailing rather than internal assemblies.

A compact, detailed kit capturing the 1944 camouflaged USS San Francisco, ideal for display-focused modellers seeking external accuracy.
