The 1:700 USS Hawaii CB-3 Model Kit lets you build a warship that was designed but never completed. This detailed Trumpeter model includes a hull crafted with multi-directional slide moulds, a finely detailed wood-patterned deck, and photo-etched parts for enhanced accuracy.
Intended as the third Alaska-class large cruiser, the USS Hawaii (CB-3) was built to counter heavy Japanese cruisers with superior firepower and speed. Equipped with nine 305 mm guns and a top speed of 32 knots, it was meant to operate alongside fast aircraft carriers but was never completed.
Though launched in 1945, the ship was placed in reserve and later considered for conversion into a missile or command ship. Eventually, it was scrapped in 1959, making this model a rare opportunity to build a piece of naval history that never saw combat.
