CA-38 USS San Francisco
By Dave Becker

1/350 USS San Francisco CA-38 (Iron Shipwright).

Iron Shipwright CA-38 USS San Francisco model in 1/350 scale.  I built her as she looked in December 1944 at the Invasion of Luzon.  Ship is painted in Measure 33/13d.

Had some problems with the received 5"/25 cal directors.  The two I received in the kit had large holes in them.  Called ISW and had replacements in THREE days!  That is what I call service from a great company.  Building was straight forward with no other problems.  I replaced the 8" gun resin muzzles with metal ones.

Valuable information was derived from "Warship Pictorial #5 USS San Francisco CA-38". If you have accurate information a great  model will arise.
