Are there significant or just subtle differences between Trumpys
42 and 44 San Francisco?

I hate to build a another version of a given ship if you readily can't see the differences.


Thanks

hello Firecaptain,
from looking at my books,the only difference i can see is more AA guns and a build up of the Superstructure for radar and fire control area's.i have the San Fran 1942 in 1/350 and i am going get the San Fran 1944.
hope this helps.
cheers,
Bruce

Depends on your definition of significant I guess. I consider to be significant revisions and changes to the forward superstructure... most of the bridge windows were deleted and the platforms were made smaller... plus, if you like dazzle camouflage '44 is a must...
