Trumpeter 05747 USS San Francisco CA-38 1944 Heavy Cruiser Kit  [TP05747]

Trumpeter 05747 USS San Francisco CA-38 1944 Model Overview

The Trumpeter 05747 USS San Francisco CA-38 1944 model kit gives modellers a compact but accurate representation of a New Orleans class heavy cruiser. At 1:700 scale the parts capture the ship's wartime profile and the Measure 33/13d camouflage used in the Pacific campaign.

Role in World War II

The New Orleans class played a tough role in several Pacific engagements, and the USS San Francisco is noted for action in key battles. The kit reflects the vessel's service history while allowing builders to present the ship as it appeared in 1944.

Building Details

This kit contains 202 plastic parts and a one-piece slide-molded upper hull to aid alignment during assembly. There are no metal or resin extras included, so painting and small-detail work will define the finished look for experienced hobbyists.

Collector Display Notes

Finished at 256.2 mm long, the model fits well in dedicated 1:700 groupings and on narrow shelves. Its scale and accurate markings make it a practical choice for collectors focused on World War II naval vessels.
