About This Item
Introducing the Tamiya U.S. Navy Heavy Cruiser Indianapolis Model Kit Embark on a journey through history with the Tamiya U.S. Navy Heavy Cruiser Indianapolis model kit.
Commissioned in 1932, this legendary cruiser played a vital role in World War II, earning ten battle stars before tragically sinking in action just two weeks before the war's end. This meticulously crafted model kit precisely replicates the Indianapolis' anti-aircraft armaments and equipment as they were improved in July 1945. The realistic hull, consisting of right and left halves, showcases the incredible attention to detail achieved through precise mold carving techniques. You'll admire the anchor chain and nonslip treatments on the deck, meticulously recreated to perfection. The kit also features intricate details of the bridges, funnels, masts, and radar, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the craftsmanship of this historical vessel.
Impressively armed, the Indianapolis model kit includes 8in/55 caliber batteries on turret, 5in/25 caliber dual-purpose guns, and 20mm/40mm anti-aircraft guns. Thanks to the poli caps installed underneath, you can even rotate the turrets for added realism. To further enhance the authenticity of your model, two Curtiss SC-1 Seahawks airplanes are included. These aircraft were an essential part of the Indianapolis' operations and are perfect for adding that finishing touch to your build. Please note that this plastic model kit requires plastic cement and paint for assembly, which are sold separately.
To achieve the best results, we recommend using paint colors such as Neutral Gray, Neutral Blue, Intermediate Blue, Insignia White, Gun Metal, Chrome Silver, Flat Black, Flat White, Hull Red, and Field Blue. Tamiya is a trusted brand known for its exceptional quality products.

TAMIYA Watercraft Kits Editorial Review
The U.S Navy CA-35 Indianapolis Model Kit is a highly detailed model recommended for medium to advanced skill level builders due to the large number of very small parts in the kit. The finished product measures approximately 11 inches long and is 1/700 scale. Some customers have reported that the kit was manageable even for a 15 year old with limited experience. However, it is important to note that this is not a beginner's kit and requires patience and knowledge of building models. It is also a waterline model and does not have an underwater hull. Overall, feedback from customers who have purchased and built the U.S Navy CA-35 Indianapolis Model Kit has been positive. Many have praised the level of detail and accuracy of the kit, as well as the challenge it presented to more experienced builders. However, the kit may not be suitable for beginners due to the high skill level required and the large number of small parts.
