We invite you to discover an exceptional offer for modeling enthusiasts – the Hobby Boss 86515 USS Hawaii CB-3 in 1/350 scale. This meticulously crafted plastic model kit represents the unfinished U.S. Navy Alaska-class large cruiser – USS Hawaii (CB-3). Created by the renowned brand Hobby Boss, this kit is a treat both for advanced modelers and fans of U.S. naval history.

• Scale: 1/350 – the model measures 704 mm in length and 80.4 mm in width, offering an impressive size and excellent detailing.
• Country of service: United States of America (US Navy).
• Historical background: USS Hawaii was the third (and final) ship of the Alaska class, built as a response to the heavily armed “super-heavy” cruisers of the Axis powers during World War II. The construction of the vessel began on December 20, 1943, but changing wartime needs resulted in the ship never being completed. There were later considerations to convert her into a guided missile cruiser or command ship, but these plans were not realized, and the hull was eventually scrapped.
• Service period: World War II (project unfinished).
• Material: Plastic (high-quality polystyrene); includes photo-etched parts (5 pieces) and a metal anchor chain.
• Add-ons and details: The model features a realistic deck plank layout, hull made using advanced slide molding technology, 2 faithfully replicated SC-1 aircraft, an attractive display stand, and a nameplate for the ship.
• Category: Plastic warship model kit.
• Difficulty level: 4/5 – recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers due to its high level of detail (over 1100 parts) and the presence of photo-etched elements.
• Recommendation: We highly recommend this kit to collectors of WWII-era ship models as well as enthusiasts of American naval technology seeking unique and complex projects. The model provides many hours of rewarding work and allows you to create a striking replica of a unique US Navy vessel.

Hobby Boss 86515 USS Hawaii CB-3 is an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates high-quality craftsmanship and rich detail – the set does not include glue or paints, allowing you to select your favorite modeling accessories. Recommended for modelers looking to enrich their collection with a rare ship bearing an interesting history!
