New Arrival: Dragon 7121 U.S. Guided Missile Cruiser Chicago 1/700 Scale Plastic Model Kit
We’re excited to announce the arrival of the Dragon 7121 U.S. Guided Missile Cruiser Chicago in 1/700 scale at Historia Emporium – The History Store. This finely detailed plastic model kit offers an excellent opportunity to recreate one of the United States Navy's Cold War-era guided missile cruisers with precision and realism.
The USS Chicago (CG-11) was originally commissioned as a Baltimore-class heavy cruiser during World War II but was later converted into an Albany-class guided missile cruiser in the late 1950s. This transformation marked a significant shift in naval warfare, incorporating advanced radar systems and long-range surface-to-air missiles designed to intercept Soviet bombers and protect carrier strike groups during the Cold War. The ship served actively through the Vietnam War and into the 1980s before its decommissioning in 1980.
Dragon’s 1/700 scale kit captures the modernized configuration of the USS Chicago, complete with intricate superstructure details, missile launchers, radar arrays, and deck equipment. It’s a must-have addition for naval modelers and Cold War history enthusiasts alike.
