In recent times there have been successful renditions of the USS Virginia (CGN-38), USS Long Beach (CG-9), HMS Type 45 and LCS-2, and now comes USS Albany (CG-10). This particular ship was originally an Oregon-class heavy cruiser (CA-123) when it was commissioned into the US Navy in June 1946. Too late to join WWII, it served mostly in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Caribbean. Then in June 1958 it began undergoing conversion into a guided missile cruiser as the lead ship of her class. At this point USS Albany was redesignated as CG-10, and it reentered service in 1962. Its missile armament included RIM-8 Talos and RIM-24 Tartar surface-to-air missiles, as well as ASROC missiles. From 1976-80, USS Albany was flagship of the 6th Fleet based in Gaeta, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Cyber-Hobby kit is made precisely to 1\/700 scale. The kit is a product of all-new toolings, with the exception of miscellaneous fittings such as missile launchers, radar and some other small parts. The hull comes with the option of full-hull or waterline versions, while the ship’s superstructure is finely reproduced. Many of the parts are products of slide molds to ensure maximum detail is rendered and to guarantee easy assembly. There are also some photo-etched parts to improve the overall level of detail allowed by plastic molding. This is a fine new kit of USS Albany in its existence as a guided missile cruiser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly tooled open upper-mount and lower-mount 5-inch gun realistically reproduced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly tooled Tartar launcher w\/intricate detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew radar dishes possess well-defined detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic bridge produced w\/slide-molded technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefined details molded on hull side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAN\/SPG-49 Talos illuminators are presented in detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched railings included for the deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelicate radar offered w\/option of PE or plastic parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMasts, radar and antenna parts are represented by photo-etched parts w\/realistic details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched pole included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterline or full-hull version can be assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSponsons are represented on lower hull by slide-mold technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue-to-scale propellers reproduced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece slide-molded upper hull w\/undercut details realistically represented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed MK 56 gun directors are accurately presented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely well-detailed parts like workboat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate workboat stowage w\/photo-etched frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue-to-scale ASROC launcher is presented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTalos launchers accurately produced w\/fine details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dragon Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524420534485,"sku":"DML7097","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/dragon-models-cyber-hobby-7097-1-700-uss-albany-cg-10-model-ship-kit.jpg?v=1748543322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/dragon-models-cyber-hobby-7097-1-700-uss-albany-cg-10-model-ship-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
