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

This is a 1:700 scale plastic model kit representing the World War II heavy cruiser USS San Francisco CA-38, released as part of Trumpeter's 1:700 warship series and intended for display-focused builders and collectors.

The New Orleans class were the last class of the interwar heavy cruisers built for the United States Navy under treaty limits. Seven ships were completed with broadly similar external profiles; wartime displacement grew as radar, electronics, and anti-aircraft armament were added. Units of this class saw extensive service in the Pacific, and surviving hulls earned multiple battle stars during World War II.

The kit reproduces the 1944 appearance of USS San Francisco with the Measure 33/13d camouflage indicated by the decals. Molding features include a one-piece slide-molded upper hull to aid hull alignment and reduce seam work. The parts layout is suitable for modelers who focus on deck detail and external fittings rather than internal assemblies.

A detailed small-scale representation of USS San Francisco in her 1944 camouflaged configuration, suitable for modelers prioritizing external accuracy and display fidelity.
