Tamiya 12630 1/350 Scale Naval Degaussing Set  [12630]

Detailed degaussing fittings for scale naval modelling

The Tamiya 12630 - 1/350 Degaussing Cable Set provides the small-scale parts needed to depict the degaussing arrangements used by WWII Japanese warships. These anti-magnetic measures were a practical response to the threat from magnetic mines and torpedoes.

Historical brief and modelling benefits

From the early 1940s many ships were equipped with degaussing circuits to reduce their magnetic footprint. Recreating these details gives a model extra technical authenticity and shows attention to period countermeasures.

Key features of the kit

The kit contains a photo-etched sheet and a series of straight cables intended for 1/350 rigs, enabling accurate placement of wiring and anchor points on the superstructure and hull.
