USS Yorktown (CG-48) Ticonderoga Class guided missile cruiser in 1:70 scale
This is the USS Yorktown (CG-48) Ticonderoga Class guided missile cruiser in 1:70 scale by Hobby Master.
The USS Yorktown (CG‑48), a Ticonderoga‑class guided‑missile cruiser commissioned in 1984, stood out in the warship world thanks to its powerful Aegis combat system—featuring the AN/SPY‑1 phased‑array radar capable of tracking hundreds of targets simultaneously. Unlike earlier cruisers, Yorktown combined this cutting‑edge sensor suite with vertical launch cells for Standard, Tomahawk, and ASROC missiles, giving it unmatched multi-axis defense against aircraft, missiles, and submarines. Serving across multiple theaters—from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf—it became a lynchpin in carrier group air defense and power projection, distinguishing itself as one of the most technologically advanced and versatile surface combatants of its time.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
