Hobby Boss 82501 USS Ticonderoga CG-47 Collector Edition Model  [HB-82501]

Hobby Boss 82501 USS Ticonderoga CG-47 Static Display Kit

The USS Ticonderoga CG-47 marked a shift in naval combat systems and air defence. Reclassified as a guided missile cruiser in 1980, it was the first surface ship to be equipped with the AEGIS Weapons System, setting a new standard for coordinated air defence.

Key Capabilities and Scale Representation

The class is well known for vertical launch cells used for TOMAHAWK and other missiles, alongside AEGIS sensors and anti-submarine assets. The Hobby Boss 82501 model reproduces those silhouettes and deck arrangements in miniature form.

Model Build and Presentation Notes

With accurate proportions and focused detail, this kit is suited for display in a cabinet or as part of a larger fleet grouping. The build presents a pleasant challenge for modellers who prefer scale authenticity.
