Dragon 1:700 scale U.S.S. Chicago CG-11 7121 scale model kit
A precision 1/700 scale kit of the U.S.S. Chicago (CG-11), an Albany-class guided missile cruiser. Originally built as a Baltimore-class heavy cruiser during WWII, she was extensively converted in the late 1950s, resulting in a unique, futuristic tall-bridge superstructure that this model accurately reproduces.
