USS Virginia & Belknap Class CG/CGN Clear 1-2400
 
This 1-2400 scale waterslide deck decal is designed for miniature warships representing the Virginia / Belknap CG/CGN family. It provides a practical way to add crisp deck markings and surface detail to modern U.S. Navy miniatures while retaining the modeler's chosen hull and deck finish.
 
Decal Information
They are printed on clear-background waterslide decal paper, allowing the modeler to paint the deck in any desired color before applying the clear decal over the painted surface.
 
Model Compatibility
This 1-2400 scale deck decal is sized for the Viking Forge miniature. Miniatures from other manufacturers may differ in deck dimensions, weapons placement, or superstructure footprint, so test-fit before application.
 
Historical Information
The Belknap and Virginia classes represented two important generations of Cold War U.S. Navy guided-missile cruisers. Belknap-class ships combined long-range fleet air defense with anti-submarine and escort capabilities, while the nuclear-powered Virginia class provided similar carrier-screening and air-defense roles with extended endurance. Both classes served extensively with carrier battle groups before retirement in the 1990s.
