Aoshima 06667 1/700 Scale Tone Cruiser Model Kit  [AO-06667]

Aoshima 06667 - Tone Heavy Cruiser in 1/700 Scale

This Aoshima 06667 kit reproduces the Japanese Heavy Cruiser Tone at 1/700 scale, capturing the hull form and deck arrangement that made the ship recognisable. The moulded details give builders a solid foundation for realistic finishing.

Design Features and Reconnaissance Role

The Tone class concentrated its main battery forward and left the stern for aircraft operations, allowing extended scouting missions with floatplanes. The model reflects these defining features in its deck and superstructure sections.

Construction Level and Recommendations

Expect a satisfying build that favours careful fitting and clean joins. Use fine tools and masking for painting the deck and superstructure, and consider clear coats to protect decals after applying them.

Collecting and Display Advice

The finished model works well in naval groupings or as a standalone centrepiece in a compact display case. Its layout lends itself to simple diorama scenes showing aircraft handling or coastal operations.
