Academy 14107 - 1/350 U.S.S. CA-35 Indianapolis Scale Kit

The Academy 1/350 kit of the U.S.S. CA-35 Indianapolis lets scale builders recreate a prominent World War II cruiser in accurate proportions. The Portland-class heavy cruiser, noted for missions in the Pacific and for transporting components associated with the Hiroshima mission, is modelled with careful attention to its lines and fittings.

Why Modellers Choose This Kit

The story of the U.S.S. Indianapolis mixes major wartime service with a well-known and tragic end, making this subject compelling for history-minded builders. The kit offers detailed parts that reflect the ship's guns, superstructure and deck plan, helping modellers capture its naval character.

Building Experience and Display Value

Assembly provides a solid modelling challenge for those with intermediate skills. Cleanly moulded parts demand precise glueing and accurate paintwork to produce an authentic result. Completed models present a strong visual presence in any WWII fleet display.

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for authenticity
Sharp sprue cutters, hobby knives, fine files and a steady pair of tweezers will make assembling the small parts much easier.
Yes, many builders enhance this kit with aftermarket photo-etch or brass details to increase realism, but the kit is complete as supplied.
Use thin, even coats and reference wartime colour schemes; subtle weathering and wash techniques help show panel lines and deck detail.
