Product Description
The USS Phoenix is the fifth Brooklyn-class light cruiser of the United States Navy, and is named after Phoenix, Arizona.
Completed in 1938, this ship began operating in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean from early 1942, engaging in convoy escort duties.
In 1943, it was incorporated into the 7th Fleet and engaged in escorting landing forces and bombarding ground targets. In 1944, it participated in a night battle against Japanese destroyers during the Battle of Biak Island.
In late October of the same year, during the Battle of the Philippines, he participated in the Battle of Surigao Strait at the Battle of Leyte Gulf as part of Task Force 77.
After the war, in 1951, it was sold to Argentina and served in the Argentine Navy for a long time, but was sunk by a torpedo during the Falklands War in 1982.
The kit consists of an injection-molded plastic body. The [Standard Edition] includes decals, while the [Deluxe Edition] includes the same contents as the [Standard Edition] plus additional parts such as photo-etched parts, metal gun barrels, and deck mask stickers.
This is a superb kit that recreates the appearance of the Phoenix in 1944 as a waterline model with delicate details.
