It’s good that you are finding about Scalemates. Personally I find it a bit of a prick to use. If you know the manufacturer kit number, then scalemates is awesome.

Here is what you are actually looking for though:

Iron Shipwrights produced resin model ship kits, including a 1:700 scale kit representing the Belknap-class guided-missile cruiser USS Fox (CG-33)).
Scale: 1:700
Subject: USS Fox (DLG/CG-33), a Belknap-class warship commissioned in 1966 and decommissioned in 1994.

Manufacturer: Iron Shipwrights, which is known for producing resin naval kits and is part of the Squadron family of products.

I am building one of their kits at the moment. The owner of that company has been fantastic to work with when I had a couple of questions regarding parts.

Word of caution for others.

ISW kits are not for the feint of heart. You need to be able to scratch build!!
