This is a professional accessory kit dedicated to naval modeling enthusiasts who wish to elevate the realism of their model to the highest possible level.

Set purpose

USS Alaska (CB-1) was an American Alaska-class battlecruiser that served in the United States Navy during the final stages of World War II. The ship featured powerful armament with 305 mm caliber guns, as well as impressive speed and armor. Launched in 1943 and commissioned in 1944, it was used, among other things, to escort aircraft carriers during the battles in the Pacific and to bombard Japanese installations on the islands of Okinawa and Iwo Jima.

Set contents and materials

The Eduard 53289 USS Alaska CB-1 Part 1 product consists of precisely cut photo-etched sheets made of high-quality stainless steel. They provide significantly greater detail than the plastic parts in the base kit. The set includes:

• realistic deck railings
• superstructure, whip antenna, and radar details
• mounting and deck equipment elements
• ventilators, ladders, and small fittings

These components not only accurately reproduce the original details of the USS Alaska CB-1, but also allow the modeler to reconstruct even the smallest deck equipment details in a way that is true to the historical reality of the ship during World War II.
