35019 Blue Water Navy USS Houston CA30 (Northampton Class Heavy Cruiser) - February 1942 Battle of the Java Sea (CA26 / Chester CA27 / Louisville CA28 / Chicago CA29 / Augusta CA31)
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Very high quality model and still the only 1/350 scale Houston. BWN said they made the finest ship models available and it was no idle boast. The master was researched in depth and built to museum standards. In making the molds, the silicone was de-aired in a vacuum chamber; then the resin was pressure cast. This method makes for virtually air-bubble-free parts with flawless detail. Scale fidelity and historical accuracy are top-rate throughout. Requires assembly and painting - photo shows assembled and painted model. Includes museum-quality resin castings, metal castings and a large fret of photoetched brass parts. Can be built waterline or full hull. Includes very good pictorial and text instructions. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions.
