Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the light cruiser Helena. The main purchasing distinction is the level of the edition: this is the Deluxe edition, that is the middle of three levels. The manufacturer keeps this line in three levels: Standard builds on plastic and decals, Deluxe adds detailing extras and Platinum is the highest level. The extent differs between individual vessels, so check the contents on the packaging. The manufacturer also releases the same ship in the Standard version. The designation CL-50 belongs to a light cruiser.
The Helena belonged to the modified pair of Brooklyn class cruisers that some sources list as a separate St. Louis class. The main armament consisted of fifteen barrels of 152 mm caliber in five triple turrets. The ship was present at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, fought at Guadalcanal and, on the night of 5 to 6 July 1943, was struck by torpedoes in the Battle of Kula Gulf and sunk. The Helena therefore did not survive the war and did not serve after it.
Decide between the full hull and the waterline, as the choice of stand depends on that too. The five gun turrets and the stern hangar with catapults are the main surfaces of detail on this type. Fit the photo-etched railings only after the hull has been painted and join the metal parts with cyanoacrylate. Paint the decks separately from the hull and paint the small armament while still on the sprue.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
