Product Description

Build one of the most advanced heavy cruisers ever commissioned by the United States Navy with the USS Des Moines (CA-134) Deluxe Edition 1:350 plastic model kit from Very Fire. This premium Deluxe Edition offers an exceptionally detailed replica of the lead ship of the Des Moines-class heavy cruisers, combining a highly accurate injection-moulded kit with an extensive collection of high-quality upgrade parts for an outstanding display model.

Commissioned in 1948, USS Des Moines represented the pinnacle of heavy cruiser development. Equipped with revolutionary automatic 8-inch guns capable of sustained rapid fire, she became one of the most powerful cruisers ever built. Serving throughout the Cold War, USS Des Moines operated extensively in the Mediterranean as flagship of the United States Sixth Fleet and became a symbol of post-war American naval power.

Produced in impressive 1:350 scale, this model faithfully reproduces the cruiser's sleek hull, detailed superstructure, powerful triple 8-inch gun turrets, secondary armament, radar systems, anti-aircraft weapons, lifeboats, cranes, masts and numerous deck fittings.

The Deluxe Edition significantly enhances the standard kit by including an extensive range of premium accessories such as precision photo-etched parts, brass details, turned metal barrels and additional upgrade components, allowing experienced modellers to achieve museum-quality realism.

Designed for experienced builders, the kit provides excellent fit, crisp moulding and highly accurate engineering. Whether displayed on its own or alongside other Cold War and US Navy warships, USS Des Moines makes an impressive centrepiece for any naval model collection.
