Trumpeter 05748 USS Quincy CA-39: 1:700 kit summary

This 1:700 scale waterline plastic model represents USS Quincy (CA-39), arranged as a compact cruiser kit intended for builders focused on accurate external detail and efficient assembly.

The New Orleans class were treaty-era heavy cruisers completed in the interwar period and employed widely during World War II. Their displacement was about 10,000 tons standard and exceeded 12,000 tons at full load after wartime additions. The class received successive refits for radar systems and anti-aircraft armament and participated in major Pacific operations, earning battle honors over the campaign against Japan.

The kit presents the ship in MS 12 Modified Camouflage and emphasizes correct external fittings and profile. Construction follows standard sub-assembly of hull halves, decks, and superstructure; the sprue layout spans several frames and includes a separate waterline plate. A decal sheet is provided for the ship as specified.

A compact 1:700 waterline cruiser kit that offers straightforward assembly and a historically grounded New Orleans class subject for modellers who care about part layout and build workflow.
