Product Description
Special series Tone comes with etched parts!
The product is based on the appearance of the Tone-class first ship, Tone, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf (October 1944).
The forward mast is equipped with No. 21 and No. 22 radars, the rear mast with No. 13 radars, and numerous single 25mm machine guns.
Includes etched parts that can express fine details that are difficult to reproduce with injection parts.
Etched parts include handrails, ladders, radar, cranes, catapults, etc.
The decals include markings such as the naval ensign, national flag, and the Japanese flag for aircraft carriers.
- The No. 13 radar is a newly included part with a truss structure and sculptured antenna shape.
- The No. 21 radar features more delicate engraving than previous accessory parts, including the insulator base for fixing the elements on the front side.
- The No. 22 radar is made into a part in an open state using a slide mold.
- The 12.7cm twin anti-aircraft gun A1 Kai 1 is subdivided into 6 parts, with improved modeling resolution compared to the existing 2 parts.
- The 9-meter cutter is made into two parts to allow for painting, and the stand is available as a separate part, which can be selected with or without the deck molded as a single piece.
The canvas, wheelhouse and engine room canopy of the 11m motorboat are made into separate parts to allow for painting. Each part is painted first, and then assembled and glued together later.
- The shipboard stand features molded-in uneven shapes and light holes, giving it a more precise design.
- New parts are included for the chrysanthemum crest on the bow, and the side lights and lifebuoys on the sides of the bridge.
- Binocular telescope parts have been added to the air defense command post and compass bridge.
- Added decals showing the ship's name at the stern (painted in naval colors) and the white line on the mast.
- The Type 96 25mm machine gun is now standardly constructed as a two-part part, which reduces the painting/painting work required.
- Hull
- The hull has a one-piece structure with the left and right sides molded as a single unit, allowing for assembly in a more stable shape than a model where the left and right sides are glued together.
- The numerous blocked and unblocked portholes lined up on the sides of the ship, as well as the surrounding external electrical wiring, are reproduced as three-dimensional sculptures.
- Upper Deck
- The upper deck is a single piece, and features carvings that add to the sense of detail, such as the linoleum deck support and the anti-slip surface of the iron deck.
- The ammunition box is reproduced as a single mold on the deck.
- Each deck
- The shelter deck is made into a separate part, and the torpedo equipment compartment on the lower level is also accurately reproduced.
- The rails connecting to the aircraft work deck are made into a single part using a slide mold.
- Bridge
- The distinctive small bridge structure is reproduced by assembling it in layers, and the shape is precisely reproduced.
- Separate parts such as ladders and truss-shaped supports add to the sense of precision.
- Main turret
- The main gun barrel can be attached to the turret at any angle to recreate any elevation or depression.
-Expressed with tiny carvings such as openings on the sides made of heat-resistant boards.
- chimney
- Both the front and rear chimneys are split into left and right halves, and the handrails and double scaffolding are delicately carved.
- The chimney's rain protection grille is designed so that the inner tube can be seen through even when it is removed.
- The steam exhaust pipe is a separate part from the chimney, adding to the detail.
- Masts and aircraft equipment
- The rear mast is divided into minimal parts such as the support columns and radar room, but is finished with a precise design.
- The catapult (Kure Type 2, Model 5) uses a slide mold to realistically reproduce the side and top shapes.
- Carrier-based aircraft
- The molding color is gray to improve workability (to prevent damage when cutting the gate).
-Four Zero (three-seat) seaplane reconnaissance aircraft are included.
- Included decals
- Naval ensigns and other flags are available in three sizes. They are 1/700 scale replicas of the actual sizes: 10cm wide, 6cm wide, and 3cm wide.
- Includes the Hinomaru flag of aircraft carriers, friendly identification bands (yellow bands), etc., and the Hinomaru flag also includes the one without the white border from the later part of the war.
- Decals include the white lines on the mast and the ship's name on the stern (two types: gold and solid warship color).
