Hobby Boss 82501 USS Ticonderoga CG-47 Precision Miniature Kit  [HB-82501]

Hobby Boss 82501 USS Ticonderoga CG-47 Navy Ship Kit

The USS Ticonderoga CG-47 is recognised for advancing fleet air defence technology. Initially listed as a guided missile destroyer, it received cruiser status in 1980 and became the first to carry the AEGIS Weapons System, improving threat detection and engagement capability.

Naval Role and Modelling Interest

Ticonderoga class vessels are defined by vertical launch systems that support strike weapons like the TOMAHAWK, combined with AEGIS radar and anti-submarine systems. The Hobby Boss 82501 captures these signature elements, making it an attractive subject for detailed scale work.

Assembly Experience and Display Potential

The kit provides clean parts and true-to-form proportions for a neat finished model. Builders seeking a compact but accurate naval display will find the assembly both engaging and rewarding.
