Tamiya 78024 1/350 Scale Tone Heavy Cruiser Kit - Modeller Edition  [78024]

1/350 Scale Tamiya Tone Cruiser Replica

The Tamiya 1/350 scale Japanese Heavy Cruiser Tone kit presents a faithful miniature of the WWII vessel. Launched into service in 1938, Tone saw action in the Pacific theatre at events such as Pearl Harbor and Midway. The kit focuses on authentic exterior detail for an engaging build.

Service Record and Notable Actions

In service the Tone was recognised for a mix of speed and armament that suited fleet operations. The ship measured about 189.1 metres and could reach roughly 35 knots, carrying 20cm guns and torpedoes. These attributes make the ship a rewarding choice for historians and modellers alike.

Construction Highlights and Display Potential

The kit is configurable as a waterline model or a full-hull assembly, letting you tailor the project to your display space. Clear parts for bridge glazing and searchlight lenses are included, and masts plus radio structures are moulded in reinforced ABS resin for accuracy and durability.
