Aoshima 06667 Tone 1/700 Naval Cruiser Plastic Kit  [AO-06667]

Aoshima 06667 - 1/700 Tone Cruiser Scale Model

The Aoshima 06667 portrays the Heavy Cruiser Tone at 1/700 scale, emphasising the ship's distinctive forward-gun layout and aft aircraft facilities. The kit provides the core components required to recreate this vessel with period-appropriate detail.

Operational Role and Hull Layout

Tone was configured to perform reconnaissance missions by operating floatplanes from its rear deck while concentrating main armament forward. The model's parts reflect this arrangement and show the strategic tradeoffs of the original design.

Tips for Assembly and Finishing

Builders should expect to work carefully with small sprue parts and to plan paint and decal sequences before final assembly. Accurate painting and subtle weathering will bring out the panel lines and superstructure detail on completion.

Display Considerations for Collectors

When complete, the model is a compact exhibit ideal for shelf displays or combined fleet scenes. Its unique silhouette provides an interesting contrast when placed beside contemporaries from the same period.
