Academy USS Indianapolis CA-35 1/350 Scale Model Kit

Academy USS Indianapolis CA-35 1/350 Scale Model Kit brings USS Indianapolis CA-35 to your workbench in 1/350 scale. The Indianapolis cruiser subject combines a long hull with a compact arrangement of turrets and superstructure.

Planning the build

Work in deck and superstructure sections. Keep wash contrast subtle around small fittings and check the mast alignment from several angles.

Working in 1/350 scale

Use the stated scale when comparing the completed model with other subjects. For a ship, the hull length and arrangement of the decks can vary greatly between vessels in the same scale. Plan the display before assembly and use fine paint layers around smaller fittings to preserve their definition.

Painting and display

Plan the hull, deck and upperworks as a sequence of subassemblies where the instructions allow. Paint hard-to-reach areas before installing adjacent fittings. Use the kit marking guide for the intended ship and period, then check the finished assembly along its centerline before adding the last delicate details.
