The Iron Shipwright
model shows her with the heavy AA fit characteristic of late war US cruisers, as well as
the reduced top hamper it necessitated. Those of you partial to splinter schemes can look
forward to painting her in the distinctive measure 33d camo pattern adorning her when she
emerged from Mare Island in October 1944.
The resin kit (no white metal) includes etched brass, anchor chain, and
brass rod. See the photo gallery below for pics of the hull casting. Photos of the
smaller resin parts will be published later this week. The kit will be available January
15, 1999. Price will be $210, including shipping and handling if ordered directly
from Iron Shipwright. (Non US customers add 20%
for shipping).
Due to the extraordinarily low price, kits will be limited one per
customer/per address and there will be no dealer sales. Orders will be taken on a first
come/first served basis. The offer is good until 6 January 1999 and 100 kits are
available.
