The USS Quincy CA-39 belonged to the New Orleans class and illustrates the naval engineering of the interwar era. This 1:700 scale kit from Trumpeter recreates the look and profile of a vessel that saw heavy service in World War II. The New Orleans class received incremental upgrades over time, increasing displacement as radar and anti-aircraft armament were added, and despite later reductions the class accumulated 63 Battle Stars in Pacific operations.
Ships of the New Orleans class, including USS Quincy, were present at many decisive actions against Japanese forces. For both collectors and scratchbuilders, the Trumpeter 05748 USS Quincy CA-39 kit delivers an authentic base to represent a key warship with historical context and fine surface detail.
The kit offers a satisfying build for hobbyists who enjoy precise assembly. With 188 plastic parts, builders must focus on alignment and small components, while the one-piece slide-molded upper hull helps achieve a clean, display-ready finish when completed.
