| The USS New Orleans was the class leader of this prewar cruiser design. They were among the most active cruisers in the war fighting in both theaters of operation and holding the line until the industrial might of the USA could catch up. I was looking for a San Francisco to go with my other Guadalcanal veterans when I found this ship. It is very similar to the fit of a 42 Frisco and in this scale the minor differences are almost imperceptible. | ||||

| This ship comes completely assembled and painted the level
of detail is amazing for a ship this size. The main gun turrets can be
rotated, and the ship is in her early war fit. The details of the ship
closely matches the plans I have of her, and it is more detailed than many
1/700 kits I have seen.
The miniature is hand painted and in an overall gray scheme with even the little fighting lights painted on the bridge wings. |
