USS San Francisco CA38 Heavy Cruiser 1944

This kit is one of the better ones of a U.S. Navy cruiser to build. It's available with either waterline or full hull, depending on your preference. Even though there are a fair number of smaller parts, they are relatively easy to detach from the molds. The one complaint I found was that in 1 or 2 steps, the instructions show where to place specific parts but they do not ID the part to be placed, forcing the modeller to search for the part on the molds, resulting in some guesswork. Having said that, this did not cause a major problem with assembly and the rest of it went quite smoothly. I'd recommend this kit for anyone wanting to add to a U.S. Navy collection.
