Ticonderoga-class 1/100 Scale 1750mm (68.9") US Navy Guided-Missile Cruiser - RTR from Bancroft - BNC1067-003

U.S. Navy Ticonderoga-class cruisers are a class of guided-missile warships originally introduced in the 1980s. Designed around the revolutionary Aegis Combat System, they were the first ships designed and produced with this powerful radar and fire control system, allowing them to simultaneously track and engage with multiple airborne threats. The ships were planned as multi-role surface combatants, capable of performing air defense, anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, and land-attack missions.

Ticonderoga-class ships carry a potent mix of weaponry. This includes the Vertical Launching System (VLS) with up to 122 missile cells for Tomahawk cruise missiles, Standard surface-to-air missiles, ASROC anti-submarine rockets, and more. They are also outfitted with Harpoon anti-ship missiles, 5-inch naval guns, Phalanx CIWS, and torpedo tubes. Their ability to project incredible firepower makes them key assets in carrier strike groups, amphibious ready groups, and independent operations. At 567 feet in length and displacing over 9,000 tons, these cruisers are fast, capable, and versatile. They are also notable for their command-and-control capabilities, often serving as the air defense commander for naval task forces.

Originally planned as destroyers, their capabilities earned them the cruiser designation. A total of 27 ships were built (CG-47 to CG-73), although the earliest five have since been decommissioned. As of the 2020s, the U.S. Navy is gradually retiring the remaining ships, replacing them with newer Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and the upcoming DDG(X) program.

Bancroft is pleased to introduce this impressively sized model that is equally suited for display or operation. Handmade by skilled factory artisans, the model arrives fully assembled, detailed, and ready to sail. Powered by twin 550-class motors and controlled by a digital proportional 2.4GHz radio system, this 1/100 scale replica exceeds five feet in length and requires only the addition of four AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter. In addition, a complete sheet of hull numbers are provided for owners to recreate the hull number and name of any Ticonderoga-class ship.

Photo-Etched Detail Parts Some of the Photo-Etched (PE) parts are thinner than a pin, and some of the details are only visible under a magnifying glass! The durable PE railings can be gently bent back to shape like a paper clip if minor bends are caused during normal transport or handling.

Powerful First Impression This model makes an immediate impact with its scale-accurate bulbous bow, authentic draft markings, and detailed MK 45 naval gun. From the anchors and deck chains to the finely crafted surface features, every element comes together to form a true miniature masterpiece.
