1/508 USS Long Beach-what if

[Artoor]

Hello,

After USS Tucumcari its time for another bad kit.
This time I'd like to start USS Long Beach. As you know, this is kit based on very first specs of this cruiser.
So I dont even think about making it accurate.
Instead I'll change main superstructure, make it less box-like, maybe similar to proposed strike cruiser. Regulus 2 is interesting so it'll stay too. I'll add two cannon turrets. Finally PE railings will be used.

My deep love for Hobart-class destroyers surfaced while modifying Long Beach main superstructure, I couldn't help it...
