HobbyBoss manufactures static plastic model kits and the company has became an established and very well-regarded brand after many years of hard work. HobbyBoss strives to continually improve and to make the best possible products. This finely detailed plastic model kit requires assembly and painting. Hawaii (CB-3) was intended to be the third member of the Alaska-class large cruisers. It was the first United States Navy ship to be named after the-then Territory of Hawaii. Because Hawaii's construction was delayed by higher-priority ships like aircraft carriers, its keel was not laid until December 1943, about two years after its sister ship Guam. Kit features: hull made from multi-directional slide molds; deck wood pattern finely rendered; includes 2 SC-1 floatplanes; display stand and engraved name plate; and photo-etched detail parts.
