Fans of US World War II cruisers will be really happy with this new, the USS Indianapolis in 1/350.

____**5326 1/350 USS Indianapolis CA-35 Cruiser, 1945

The Indianapolis was a Portland-class cruiser of the United
States Navy. Having first served in 1942 in the South Pacific,
she saw major action in many Japanese strongholds, becoming a
critical part of many US Naval battles in WWII. After having
been overhauled twice during the war, her final mission was on
July 30, 1945 delivering critical parts for the first atomic bomb
to be used in combat to the U.S. air base at Tinian. Shortly after
the delivery, the ship was torpedoed by a Japanese I-58
submarine, and sank in 12 minutes. Of 1,196 crewmen aboard,
approximately 300 went down with the ship and nearly 600
additional perished in the water awaiting rescue. Kit consists of
over 630 parts on 14 sprues, including photo-etched parts. Two
SOC aircraft are included. Completed kit measures nearly 21”
long! This is the first plastic kit of this subject in this scale!
