Product Description
The USS Honolulu is one of the Brooklyn-class light cruisers of the United States Navy. It is named after the city of Honolulu in Hawaii, and is the second ship to bear that name.
While anchored at Pearl Harbor naval base at the start of the Pacific War, the ship sustained minor damage from dive bombing. After repairs, it participated in the Battle of Lunga Point in 1942, the Battle of Kula Gulf in 1943, and the Battle of Kolombangara.
In 1944, the Honolulu was headed to the Philippines to support the invasion of Leyte, but was damaged by an aerial torpedo in Leyte Gulf and forced to withdraw from the front lines. After being repaired in Norfolk, it remained there until the end of the war.
Honolulu received eight battle stars for its service in World War II.
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 wonderful kit that recreates the appearance of Honolulu as a waterline model with delicate detail.
*This kit is a waterline model.
