Neither Comet nor Framburg made INDIANAPOLIS, so presumably your model is a Superior, although South Salem did do PORTLAND in early war rig. As regards U.S. and British ships Framburg were definitely the most anatomically accurate, although not all castings were sharp, many having “soft” edges and corners.

Recognizing the excellent quality of Framburgs, Superior made knockoffs of many of them, using them to replace less accurate Comets. In many cases Superior’s efforts to later improve the models by adding things like boats, rafts, anchor chains etc actually detracted from the quality and accuracy of the original models.

The original Framburg SARATOGA was THE most accurate model of the ship until the Neptun model was released some fifty years later.

Comet’s models of Japanese and German ships were measurably improved once the Navy supplied ONI drawings etc for these ships, so many of them were very good. If you have ever seen the earlier Comets, which went through several revisions, then you can see the massive difference. Early Comets were cartoonish, or monstrosities, and uniformly rejected for use by the military.
