Trumpeter 05748 USS Quincy CA-39 - 1:700 waterline cruiser kit introduction

This is a 1:700 scale waterline plastic model kit representing the USS Quincy (CA-39), positioned as a compact cruiser subject within a navy series intended for focused display builds.

The New Orleans class were treaty-era heavy cruisers built between the world wars and served widely during World War II. They displaced roughly 10,000 tons standard and over 12,000 tons at full load after wartime additions. The class saw repeated refits for radar and anti-aircraft armament and participated in major Pacific engagements; surviving units earned numerous battle honors in the campaign against Japan.

The kit reproduces the ship as a waterline cruiser in MS 12 Modified Camouflage and bases detail on external fittings and silhouette. Construction work covers conventional sub-assembly of hull halves, decks, and superstructure; sprue layout is arranged across several frames and includes a dedicated waterline plate. Decal sheet provides markings for the subject ship as stated.

A compact 1:700 waterline cruiser kit useful for display-focused builders and collectors seeking a historically grounded New Orleans class subject with a simplified upper-hull assembly.
