She was one of the only early dedicated missile cruisers without a bow knuckle. Interesting.....

Thank you for the heads up on this kit. I have EV's USS England and USS Bainbridge kits. They are very nice. Very crisply molded hulls with much superstructure in place - (like Admiralty Model Works and JAG kits). They also come with PE, resin and 3D printed parts. All very well done.
It's nice to see this one-off ship out in a 1/700 kit. It completes the 1/700 trifecta of one-off early nuclear powered cruisers out in kit form (th others, of course, are the Bainbridge and Long Beach.) Previous Message
I just received 1/700 USS Truxton from EV Model. I must say it is a very nice kit. It is the same quality with the USS England (Belknap class). BTW, the USS England kit resurfaced again. Too bad I have already built a full hull version of USS Truxton (Iron shipwright Model with quit a lot of scratch builds). Maybe I can save this kit for later.
