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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: Photo-etched metal
  • Includes: 1 sheet of photo-etched parts, 22 pieces of straight cables (approximately 2m each)
  • Assembly: Requires careful handling and precise placement
Assembly is moderately challenging due to the small photo-etched parts; it suits modellers familiar with fine detail work rather than complete beginners.
Use a thin cyanoacrylate or specialist photo-etch glue applied sparingly; using a micro applicator helps control glue flow around tiny parts.
Weather the cables lightly with washes or fine drybrushing to match the rest of the ship, and paint attachment points before fitting for a neat result.
